Man walks again after surviving five-storey fall and escaping amputation

A Nigerian lady has shared a remarkable story of survival after her father recovered fully from a life-threatening accident that doctors said would require amputation.

Lady recounts how her dad fell

According to the account, the man fell from a five-storey building and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Medical professionals reportedly advised that his leg was beyond saving and recommended immediate amputation. His wife, however, rejected the decision and insisted on seeking further options.

After being turned away by another hospital due to the severity of his injuries and receiving the same diagnosis, the family opted for alternative treatment.

He was taken to a traditional doctor, where his leg was treated over an extended period through repeated bone resetting and care.

Defying medical expectations, the man’s leg eventually healed completely. He has since regained full mobility, now walks normally, and has returned to work, with the story sparking widespread reactions online over faith, resilience, and differing approaches to healthcare.

My mum refused.

She insisted we transfer him to another hospital. That hospital didn’t even want to admit him because his case was too critical, but when they eventually did, they gave us the same verdict: his leg had to be cut off.

My parents don’t fully trust hospitals, so they made a difficult decision. They took him to a traditional doctor instead. The doctor applied pads, reset the bones multiple times, and treated him over a long period.

Against all odds, my dad’s leg healed completely.
Today, he walks normally and even returned to work.”
