The hospital in Obudu had requested for 45, 000 naira. His family raised 11, 000 naira while SA Governor’s office, Ken Aklah and Commissioner Victor Agwu visited the hospital and added 30, 000.

When the Obudu hosptial couldn’t handle the matter again and referred them elsewhere, help couldn’t come from anywhere, not from the Police that shot him or the Government.

20 suspects have been arraigned and granted bail while the case is adjourned to April 30, 2020.
