His wife has spoken for the first time about the ordeal. “I feel happy because compared to how he was before, and what it is now…I mean I feel really happy and I thank God” she told E Rave.

Recounting the ugly experience she said “It was scary. I don’t think that’s anything anybody should experience. I don’t even wish that on my enemy. It was scary but I mean we had to what we had to do.”

Ibiere Agwu said when her husband was sick she relied on prayers, family and external support.

After Julius Agwu became hale and hearty, he and his wife visited Madame Tussauds in London.
