_IMMANUEL HOSPITAL, EKET, DISCHARGES DANIEL FRIDAY._
Little Daniel Friday who some time ago was rescued from the bush to the Immanuel General Hospital, Eket, Nigeria after his mother inhumanely tortured, maimed, wounded with machete and dumped him in the bush with the intentions to kill him, has been discharged from the hospital.
According to the medical director of the emergency unit of the Immanuel general Hospital, Mrs Nsima Dominic Essien, Daniel Friday has regained his health and was due to be handed over to the operators of Child’s Right And Rehabilitation Network (CRARN), who on humanitarian grounds sponsored and took care of the young Daniel throughout the time of his agony.
The 9th year old Daniel as earlier reported was abandoned after the onslaught to die in the bush and was only fortunate to have been rescued by a good Samaritan to the Immanuel Hospital.
The mother who abandoned him in the bush while presumed he had died, but God in his infinite mercy visited Daniel, through the magnanimous and humanitarian disposition of CRARN. On friday, the 17th of September 2021, the Young boy who is now hale and hearty was discharged and handed over to the operators of the orphanage home, Child’s Right And Rehabilitation Network in Eket, Akwa Ibom state. The correspondent of Ibomfocus Reporters reported that CRARN is carrying out this selfless venture amidst paucity of funds, adding that more funds are being solicited to cater for his basic needs ranging from medication, food, educational materials etc. The selflessness exhibited by Child’s Right And Rehabilitation Network is worthy of celebration and support.
The hospital commended CRARN for its humanitarian services and for supporting and standing by Daniel throughout his health ordeal.
On the 29th of September 2021, yours truly was in the hospital with little Daniel Friday on a routine medical checkup as required by the medical doctor in charge of the Immanuel General Hospital Eket, Akwa Ibom state.
On arrival, the CRARN representative and little Daniel Friday were given a warm reception by medical personnel who were all very happy to behold Daniel’s face after over two weeks of leaving the hospital for CRARN children center, Ikot Afaha, behind Ikot Odiong main market, Eket, Akwa Ibom state.
