A young lady Chioma Nwabuexe has recounted how she saved a Boko Haram
victim with ruptured appendix despite being warned and even threatened
with arrest.
She wrote on Facebook;
I came back from work and met this guy in my house.. According to my
family, they always see him around n my (mum) mama Africa as I call
her,usually give him food anytime she sees him resting at the front of
our compound. To cut the story short, mum was only trying to do what the
Bible asked us to do. unfortunately, this guy from Adamawa state
who is a victim of the Boko Haram tragedy lost his parents and family in
Adamawa n moved to Lagos. On the 9th of December 2017,he was
brought to our home by someone who said when he was dying of pains, he
asked him who he has in this Lagos that can help him and he said my mum.
Coming back to meet this stranger I haven’t even met n saw his
condition, I knew it was beyond just care as a nurse. We rushed him to
hospital and doctor diagnosed RUPTURED APPENDICITIS… ?????? I started asking myself, Chioma who sent u ooo.. Everyone I told said y can’t I throw him away to die? I was heart broken.
The load was on me n my family. We went to police station, they wanted
to detain my dad . They were like y will he help someone he doesn’t
know? It was hell for US.. We tried to get someone from his state to
stand in for the surgery, no way… Anyway I decided to take the risk. N
I stood in. The surgery was successful. Am sharing this because anyone
could have been in this guy shoe… I could have been in his shoe. Today
is the happiest day of my life. God saved me from troubles for
rendering help.. So Pls celebrate with me n my family…. It wasn’t easy
but it worth it.!!!!! #one Nigeria# #one Love# #xmas love# # God is great#
