The mother of a 3year old boy identified as Timothy who was born
without a man-hood has called on the Nigerian police to help her
investigate and locate a woman identified as Blessing Usatu who she
claims eloped with the N5million that was raised for surgery for her
son.
Narrating what happened to journalist at the Edo State Council of the
Nigeria Union of Journalists, 38 year old Mrs Charity Atoe said after
giving birth to her son and discovering that he had no man-hood, she
was informed by the doctors at the University of Benin Teaching
Hospital that a corrective surgery which would cost N900, 000 would
have to be carried out in order for him to have a man-hood. Continue..
Mrs Atoe said efforts on her part to raise the required money for her
son's surgery failed, with the boy's father who is a bricklayer
abandoning her and her sick young son to their fate. She said she was
advised to proceed to Lagos in search of financial assistance for her
son's surgery and that it was while she was on her way to T.B Joshua's
church she met with Blessing Usatu who promised to help her call
journalist who would make her son's plight public.
"My husband ran away after he has spent lots of money on his
condition. He is a bricklayer and I used to sell. I have children for
two husbands. Two girls for another man and two boys for this man that
ran away. I have not seen my husband for the past eight months. I have
been to several places and no help came. I have been looking for help
for the past three years. After looking for help in Benin without any
forthcoming. I decided to go to TB Joshua church. On my way, somebody
said I should go to Redeemed Church. It was where I was to buy sachet
water to drink that I met one woman by name Blessing Usatu. She
promised to help me and within few minutes I saw pressmen asking me
questions and the report was published the next day alongside my
photographs. After two days, I started receiving calls from
individuals across the world stating that they have paid money into an
account provided alongside the story. I did not know that the account
was in her name. She has a store at Ikeja opposite the Redeem church.
We went to the hospital at Lagos and Dr. Bankole asked her to give me
the money to go and do the operation in Benin but she refused. I used
to sleep at Ijesha outside The Lord Chosen Church. Somebody brought
N600,000 cash which I saw. I was given N100,000 and the woman said she
would keep the rest. I later gave her N80,000 out of the N100,000.
Whenever I am going for check-up, she would give me N2000. She said I
should go and call my husband before she will give me the money. I
went to the Zenith bank and the bank officials said my picture was not
in the account. I really need help. I do not know that the woman was
out to dupe me. I have been calling her and her number is not
connecting." she said
