She said, her son was rushed to Gbagada General Hospital where 1st aid was administered to him then moved out the next day after the MRI scan result came out and the Doctor said he needed more attention because he was affected.

He was later moved to Igbobi Orthopedic Hospital at Jibowu Yaba but unfortunately, the neurosurgeons were not available, he was moved out after 2 days to a private hospital at Anthony Village Gbagada (Primose Hospital) where the surgery was immediately carried out and was discharged after 5days to continue with physiotherapy.

Unfortunately, his lung shut down after 3 days and he was rushed to Evercare Hospital Lekki where he was in the ICU for three weeks and was discharged with a tracheostomy tube which he carried for 5 months.

When he was having severe pains another MRI was done and it was agreed by the neurosurgeon to do a posterior surgery, he had it done on 19th March 2022 and he advised we take him overseas for aggressive physiotherapy.
