Boy attacked by dogs in Lagos-Father cries out

Omonigho Abraham


This boy Omonigho Abraham was attached by two dogs last month in his residence in Lagos, he sustained severe injuries to his scalp, now the father is crying out complaining of negligence in LASUTH (Lagos State Teaching Hospital) even when the State Governor has ordered that all expense will be borne by the State.
According to a report on Punch Newspaper, Mr. Odia , the father of the boy said Doctors have not been coming to attend to his boy and expressed anxiety over his condition as his head was giving off an offensive odour.
The hospital Management has come out to refute the claim of the boy’s father insisting that he was not abandoned, rather that the father was taking advantage of his son’s condition to solicit for funds.
The blame game should be stopped, i don’t want anything to happen to this innocent 4 year old, the earlier report claimed that Police and neighbors were present while the boy was being attacked but none could rescue him until his mother rushed to rescue him not minding the dog bites she received (mother’s will be mother’s, always courageous), now the medical personnel’s are not doing enough to save him. Why is Nigeria a terrible country? We find it difficult to show love even to a poor innocent boy who is in severe pain, a country so religious that every nook and cranny has numerous churches yet no Love, how did we get to this point. People act with so much impunity.(sobs)
