Prince Opaluwa Okoliko Gideon.
According to him, he spotted the young man in a village
near Ugbamaka, Olomaboro local government of Kogi State. He was
touched and wanted to know if there is anything the medical world can do
to his condition.

Clinical Services at Kogi State Specialist Hospital, Lokoja said he is
already on the case, adding that the man is expected in the state
capital where he will be attended to by an Orthopedic Surgeon.
" I can confirm to you that the young man is being expected in Lokoja today (he was expected Monday
and yesterday actually, but the Secretary to his LGA who was supposed
to have brought him was held up by some emergencies). Arrangements have
already been concluded with the Orthopedic Surgeon who will attend to
him once he gets here. This young man is going to be given a new lease
on life.
"The Kogi State Health Funds for Indigent Citizens
established by Governor Bello is accessible to those who really need it.
