Guédiawaye: Doctor S. F. Seck has undergone surgery, but the bullet is still in his abdomen, Dr. Gning says

Serigne Fallou Seck, a 27-year-old medical intern shot at his home in Fith-Mith, Guédiawaye, has undergone successful surgery and is no longer in a life-threatening condition. Dr. Gory Gning, president of Senegal’s Association of Hospital Interns and Former Interns, said the bullet has not yet been removed from Seck’s abdomen.
