Lady cries out after brother’s accident on his way to write early morning test, faces possible amputation
A young lady has raised alarm on social media after her brother was knocked down by a commercial tricycle while heading to an early morning examination at the University of Abuja.
According to the distraught lady, the accident happened in the early hours of the day as students rushed to campus for a test reportedly scheduled for around 5 a.m.
She said her brother and one of his coursemates were attempting to cross the road directly in front of the University of Abuja when a tricycle, allegedly moving against traffic, rammed into them.
She disclosed that her brother sustained severe injuries and was unconscious at the time she shared the update, adding that doctors had classified his condition as critical and were preparing him for surgery. The medical team, she noted, warned that amputation of his leg might be necessary.
The lady further alleged that although the tricycle operator was initially apprehended, there were indications that efforts were being made to secure his release. She also claimed that the university management had yet to contact the family or provide any form of assistance following the incident.
In addition, she revealed that the hospital initially declined to admit her brother due to the severity of his injuries before eventually accepting him, as medical expenses continued to rise beyond her financial capacity.
She said in part…
“University of Abuja you need to come to my aid at this point, I cannot do it alone; I’m traumatized. How school go dey set test around 5 am? He was struggling to go to school this morning, in front of university of Abuja that was how keke cleared him. The keke was following one-way. As I am talking to you now, he is unconscious, and they’re about to do surgery. As I am talking to you now, it’s 50/50; it’s either they do the surgery or they remove the leg. Please the bills is too much for me. It was the SUG that called me to come and carry my brother. They took him to two hospitals they rejected him because of the condition. As I am talking to you now, they arrested the keke man but they’re about to release him.”
