A 70-year-old man is recuperating at the Coast Provincial General Hospital (CPGH) after he was shot by a gunman on Monday.

Ngoro Nyaga, who is nursing a bullet wound to his left shoulder, told The Standard: ''I am lucky to be alive and thank the Almighty God for saving me from the jaws of death.'' He complained he lost his most valuable property in the attack; a copy of the Bible.
