Bauchi: Mother of 13 Years Old Boy Seeks N1.5m For Spinal Cord Surgery
By Abbas Usman, BauchiÂ
The Mother of Musa Mohammed Kabir, a 13 years old boy, Jamila Mohammed Kabir from Gungun Rimi Community of Tafawa Balewa local Government area of Bauchi State, is soliciting for N1.5 million for her son, Musa Mohammed Kabir to undergo a spinal cord surgery at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital Bauchi.
The 13 year old Musa, was diagnosed with a spinal cord problem about three weeks ago at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital Bauchi, demanding from the Parents of the patient N1.5m for treatment.
Musa’s father, Mohammed Kabir is a health attendant at Gwashe Dispensary in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area who could not foot the bills.
Jamila Muhammad Kabir, the patient’s mother who spoke with our Correspondent, explained that Musa fell off a mango tree and was left with serious cervical injuries that require emergency medical interventions to save him from being permanently paralyzed or sudden death.
According to her, the dreams of her son to become someone helpful to the family, his community and Nigeria at large are obviously slipping away.
Jamila added that it took the compassionate support from some kind individuals including medical workers to enable them conduct some tests, X-ray, have some medical equipment and to access some drugs.
She regretted that for the past six weeks, they have been on admission.
She therefore appealed to the Tafawa Balewa local government council, Bauchi state government, Senator representing Bauchi-South Senatorial District, Shehu Umar Buba, other spirited individuals and organisations to come to their rescue.
Musa who is supposed to be in JSS II, with tears flowing down his face, said his present condition had hindered him from continuing with his studies while his mates are in school.
