His spine is said to be badly affected.

A post on Facebook read: “This is when he needs us most; let’s reach out to him and show him some love. He may need our little financial support, wheel chair and medical facilities to get back to his normal self. Please let’s help this good man to be able to walk again.

“For those that actually want to reach out to Ejiro Otarigho see his phone line 08055345687 d wife will pick.”

Oasis Magazine spoke to the victim’s wife, Augustina, in a telephone conversation.

She said the accident occured on the 4th of September in Agbarho on his way back home after he went out breifly.
