Graphic photos: Man with massive lump on his back needs help

The boil eventually degenerated into a large tumor-like hump on poor Mr.

Akaayar's back with attendant inflammation and laceration on the head of the

hump. His family members, who are themselves peasants as well, watched

the victim of this strange ailment helplessly without any financial

capability to

do anything about his condition, until a kind-hearted woman brought him to

Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi sometime in April 2014 to seek medical

attention for the ailment for the first time. But there too lack of

finances was a

stumbling block.

According to medical authorities, the sum of N15,000.00 (fifteen thousand

naira) will be required for admission deposit at the Benue State University

Teaching Hospital (BSUTH), while N35, 000.00 (thirty five thousand naira) will

be needed to conduct a CT Scan on the growth, preparatory to surgery, the

cost of which is yet to be determined as well as cost of drugs for the victim.

Donations are therefore, needed from kind-hearted Nigerians to help facilitate

a medical solution to the plight of this helpless peasant farmer who has

carried the burden of this strange ailment for over ten years now.
