Thirty-four-year-old
graduate, Mr. Babatope Oguntoyinbo, has called on Nigerians to support him to
seek medical treatment in India.
Oguntoyinbo
is down with a spinal cord injury that medics say could render his cognitive
functions ineffective if he does not undergo an urgent surgical operation in
the Asian country.
According
to his medical report, Oguntoyinbo has Case 2 level lumbar disc disease and the
condition has led to his inability to control his bowel and bladder.
The
disease, our correspondent gathered, also caused damage to his lumbar and
spine.
Mrs.
Funke Olanipekun, who spoke on behalf of her ailing brother, said his health
had so degenerated that he no longer walks or eases his bowel without
assistance.
Before
the disease hit him, Olanipekun said her brother worked with a security firm in
Lagos.
She
added, “Initially, he complained about knee pain in November and of course, he
went to the hospital for treatment. Though the pain occasionally resurfaced, it
did not stop him from going to work at his office in Ajah till it got worse
this February. Now, he is helpless because he cannot urinate or eat without
assistance and support.”
Olanipekun
urged Nigerians and corporate organisations to support the cost of his
treatment in an Indian hospital.
