It appears the condition of four-year-old Omonigho Abraham, who was
attacked by two dogs in the Igando area of Lagos State about a month
ago, has worsened in the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja
where he is currently receiving treatment.
is father, Odia, that Omonigho’s scalp
which was torn off by the German shepherd dogs during the gruesome
attack, had not healed and had been giving off an offensive odour.
He said this had given the family serious concern.
Odia said that attempts to get the medical
report of his condition had also been frustrated by some medical
officers in the hospital.
He said, “My
boy still complains of pains in different parts of his body. Also, when
they open the bandage on his head, you will see that there is no much
difference. It’s still like the first time the incident happened.
“In fact, for up to two weeks no consultant or doctor attended to him, and his head started smelling.
“We
have been told he may still have to be admitted for six months or up to
one year, for the doctors to do a skin-grafting surgery on his open
skull. They will cut skin from parts of his body, to cover up the
skull.”
