Augustine Oppong, who lost his right eye after a Police officer shot at him at the Baba Yara Stadium in January 2020, has had his eye replaced this morning.

This marks the beginning of the former commercial driver’s full recovery from the incident that left four pellets of rubber bullets in his face.
