 “Glory hardly fell sick but the only time she took ill was the one that led to her death. We took her to some places for treatment because we thought she had a fever but when she wasn’t getting better after three days, we took to the Supreme Hospital where she was born and they referred us to UBTH.

While appealing to the Edo State government, non-governmental organizations, and public spirited individuals, to help his family recover his daughter’s corpse, the distraught man revealed that he had spent so much to save her from her illness.
