Doctors say 3yr old Abubakar Usman cannot see again,it willtake a
miracle to happen. According to Isa who spoke with Daily Trust, the doctors
said the ritualists removed everything in the boys eyes and that there was no
hope of him seeing again except by a miracle.
“The
Kaduna hospital has referred us back to ABUTH. Doctors have conducted surgery
yesterday. From what they told us, the perpetrators have removed everything
that has to do with the eyes, which would make fixing them difficult. However,
doctors said that they would review the operation to see the outcome, hoping
they can fix artificial ones.”
He said the doctors said the artificial eyes would be fixed just to fill the holes, but not for the young boy to see. “Except if Allah performs a miracle,” he sobbed.
The grandmother of little Usman, Malama Hadiza Usman, narrated how she got to know that her grandson's eyes had been removed by ritualists while he was on his way to an evening Islamiyya class. In tears, Malama Hadiza told Daily Trust that she would never forget the incident for the rest of her life. “I’d given him N5 to buy sweets on his way, on Sunday, January 24. He left the house with his brother Umar, but on their way they were intercepted by yet-to-be identified men who took him to an uncompleted building and gouged his eyes out.
