Family friend Aleesha Ntayomba told Greatest Hits Radio: "The night after the attack he went in for surgery on his hand which went well.
"The following night he went in for another operation on his lung.
"Last night, he was able to get up, start talking and he is also walking again."

Parts of Victoria Road and Queen's Drive were closed off for hours as officers carried out inquiries.
