“Later that morning, a group of women saw me and alerted residents who rushed me to the Sir Sunusi Hospital.”
He added that, “When I was on the roadside with my intestines outside, I was just waiting for death. I never thought I would survive. I didn’t even know when I was rushed to the hospital. But I thank God that I am now okay.”
