The Secretary of the Council of Muslim Organisations in Tanzania, Sheikh Ponda Issa Ponda has been admitted to Muhimbili Orthopedic Institute (MOI) after sustaining arm injuries allegedly from shots fired by the police on Saturday in Morogoro.
The report followed spread of conflicting information on the condition and whereabouts of the controversial Muslim cleric.
MOI Senior Social Welfare Officer Mary Ochieng confirmed Sheikh Ponda was admitted yesterday at around 11:00am and had undergone major surgeries on his right arm.
“Preliminary X-Ray results showed that the Muslim leader had two fractures on his right arm,” she said noting that further information will be availed today after doctors fully examine him.
“All in all he is doing fine. He can speak and respond to any conversation,” she added.
