We are counting the days as he lies helplessly in
his old and lonely hospital bed, hoping and praying for someone to help.
As requested, Cancel Cancer Team went to visit Mr. Yusuf Yakubu to
confirmed that his current health situation. Below are our findings:
Yusuf Adetunji Yakubu is a 30 years old Man, a 400 level
Psychology student of Psychology department in the University of Lagos
(Unilag), Lagos. He is sick with Cancer of the Throat and can hardly speak at the
moment.
He has been admitted at the Male ward, Ward E6 Lagos University
Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, Lagos.
On arrival, we met with the nurse on duty, who told us visiting hours were from 5:00pm. However, after
stating our mission, she allowed us to see Yusuf briefly.
Although, Yusuf could hardly speak; we managed to ask
him a few questions, which he affirmed by nodding his head. He showed us his
mother's phone number (Mrs Rafiat Idowu 08032252330) on his phone and pleaded with us to call her
for more details since he could painfully not speak much.
On calling the mother, she gave us more details and
one of Yusuf’s former class mate and friend's phone number: 08023546318 (Thomas
Titilope). Titilope said Yusuf was her classmate and would have graduated with
them three weeks ago when they graduated.
She also said that Yusuf was
diagnosed of the cancer of the throat last year (2013) and has been
hospitalised since then. She requested our e-mail address to send us more
details on Yusuf's condition, which we did.
As we were about leaving, one of Yusuf's aunt; Mrs.
Thomas Eniola: (08027350411) came in with her friends to visit Yusuf but the
nurse advised them to come back 5:00pm during visiting hours. And so they left.
Current update: Yusuf needs to travel to Apollo Hospital in
India on the 13th of July, 2014. The doctors are on strike in
Nigeria and his situation is getting worse. We need your contributions. It is just a matter of time before Yusuf Yakubu dies,
if he does not get our help.
We are counting the days as he lies helplessly in
his old and dirty hospital bed, hoping and praying for someone to help.
