A six-year old Boko Haram victim, Ali Ahmadu, who sustained severe spinal cord injuries after being run over by Boko Haram terrorists with a motorcycle during an invasion of Chibok village in 2013, has successfully completed a spinal surgery in Dubai, UAE. Goodluck Hayi, a Board Member of Dickens Sanomi Foundation, expressed happiness that Ali, who was taken away on a wheel chair in September, could now walk. “Dickens Sanomi Foundation will be working with Ali’s family through GIPLC and will be supporting Ali post surgery life to help him settle into Abuja and grow as a child. After duly assessing the various options open to us from all over the world, we resolved to take him to the United Arab Emirates courtesy of the Taleveras Group and Dickens Sanomi Foundation. The spine behind has been fixed, some screws were added and after one year, it would be removed and we really thank God, the media and our partners, Dickens Sanomi Foundation,’’ Kwajafah said.
