A charity organisation in Gombe State, Velocity Humanitarian Foundation, has saved a young man, Shuaibu Ali, whose deteriorating fracture condition is widely reported in the state from becoming lame.
Shuaibu who hails from Jauro Kuna community in Gombe suffered a severe leg fracture which failed to heal by traditional herbalists while struggling to earn a living.
After months of inadequate treatment at home, Shuaibu’s condition deteriorated, making him cry out for help to avoid amputation.
He said he is a low income earner who hustles for survival and feared that if he loses his leg, he can not cater for himself as his parents are also less privileged.
However, the foundation brought him succour recently by sponsoring his surgery in hospital.
Founder of the foundation, Engineer Aliyu Kombat represented by the officials of the foundation expressed happiness that the operation has been successful.
Speaking to newsmen, the fracture patient, Shuaibu Ali, thanked the foundation for coming to his aid.
