WATCH: Father of terminally ill child protests for help on the road
A man whose child is terminally ill stages a protest on the main road in front of Rivers government house in Port Harcourt after his request for assistance was denied.
The doctors have given the child just 64 days to live, and have warned that he’ll die if drastic measures are not taken to save him.
This information drove the father to desperation as he explains that the child who was diagnosed with a hole in his heart at the age of 5months was now nearing two years with all his effort to get help being in vain.
He said he has written to the governor to help him with the N15million needed for surgery, and there’s been no response.
Out of frustration, he decided to take the child to the main road to raise awareness and try to see if he can find some help.
