A FAMILY OF FIVE WITH MENTAL ISSUE...

The family of five
The Federal Ministry of Health, through the
Federal Neuro-Psychiatric hospital in
Calabar, has rescued a family of five
battling mental illness and roaming the
streets of Ogoja.
In a latest post, she revealed that the
family were rescued on Monday by the
staff of the hospital.
Read her post below:
"The way this story spread like wild fire
amazes me till date. In a twinkle of an eye it
went viral. And this shows how concerned
Nigerians are about one another.
I was contacted by Nigerians in diaspora
seeking how they could be of help to this
family but unfortunately this family was not in
material need. Nigerians are loving.
I sincerely want to appreciate individuals,
NGOs and regular folks too numerous to
mention who were on the move for
intervention, those who went on their knees
to pray, God never sleeps! I'm grateful. Las
Las the Federal government has intervened,
they have come to rescue.
I visited the Federal Neuro Psychiatric
hospital in Calabar, contacted the CMD Dr
Joe Okegbe who informed me of their
intended visit to Ogoja as instructed by the
Federal Ministry of Health.
Yesterday 22/10/2018, Doctors, Nurses and
Social workers from the Federal Neuro
Psychiatric Hospital in Calabar arrived Ogoja
and together we went on a rescue mission.
After contacting the notable clan head of the
village (Ukpah, Bekwarra Lga) including the
elder sister to the 'special man', the man and
his wife were chemically constrained by the
specialists with the help of some villagers
and conveyed in their official bus together
with their children to the hospital in Calabar.
Even in his sedated condition he still
guarded his children with his last strength as
he staggered and they too wailing for their
parents didn't let go, they rather stuck with
their parents. See the kids, see how cute
they look, I didn't know whether to join them
in crying as they cried for their parents or to
be happy for their rescue. 😔
Yesterday I saw Nollyhood in reality. So
touching. 😓The villagers were happy for
them but they weren't for themselves.
So as it is, the #ONE_BIG_FAMILY is off the
streets of Ogoja/Bekwarra to get immediate
attention and care.
Whether you say they're mad or not,
whatever the case may be, good news is they
have gotten attention, attention from the
Federal Government of Nigeria.
This shows that we care for our fellow
humans. And this attention will lead to their
liberation cos I believe that anything that has
a beginning surely has an end.
