Man dumps ‘crippled’ nephew on refuse heap

Posted by: Osagie Otabor, Benin in News Update 5 days ago

A 25- year old physically challenged man identified as Danjuma has been allegedly dumped on a refuse heap by his uncle apparently to die.

Danjuma is the only child of his deceased mother and no family member could locate his father’s whereabouts.

The Nation gathered that the mother, a former staff of Nigeria Telecommunication, left money for his well being but family members kept it to themselves.

The refuse heap where Danjuma was dumped is high and our reporter had to climb it to get his photograph.

Also, journalists were forced to shout in order to talk to him.

The young man demanded for a plate of rice and stew and said he was kept there by his uncle.

The wheel chair used by Danjuma was at the refuse heap.

Neighbors said he was taken up the refuse heap by the uncle after he was left in the rain and sun for many weeks.

They said the uncle threatened to deal with anybody that gives him (Danjuma) food.

‘Dustbin man’ yet to be removed

Posted by: Osagie Otabor, Benin in News 9 hours ago

A 25-year-old man, Danjuma, who was dumped on a refuse heap by his uncle, is yet to be removed.

The Nation broke the story of his plight last week.

Danjuma, a physically challenged orphan, was left in the care of relatives by his mother, who reportedly left money for his upkeep.

Sources said the money was not spent on him as he has been living off the gestures of kind hearted neighbours, who had been giving him food secretly.

He has reportedly spent over three weeks on the refuse heap before his plight was brought to public knowledge by the Coordinator of Forum of Nigerian Women in Politics, Mrs. Florence Igbinigie.

It was learnt that neighbours removed Danjuma from the refuse heap after The Nation’s report but his uncle threatened to deal with anyone who cared for him again. He threw him back on the refuse heap.

Mrs. Igbinigie showed The Nation copies of letters sent to the Ministry of Women Affairs and the Commissioner of Police.

She said the divisional police officer in charge of the zone said it was not within their responsibility to take Danjuma from the heap.

The letter reads: “I wish to draw your urgent attention to a 25-year-old cripple who was thrown on a refuse heap by his uncle, Mr. Arase.

“As we tried to approach the house, the uncle attacked us. Due to his attitude, we suspect more harm could be done to the boy. Hence we write you to please intervene to seek justice for this inhuman treatment.

“Please use your office to help rehabilitate the boy. We have been caring for him since we learnt about the incident.”

This is a pretty common occurrence in our blessed nation. Evil permeates this land from end to end. This also highlights the risk in using relatives as estate trustees.

This is happening somewhere in Edo apparently. Are there nairalanders in the house who can track down the location and intervene? Is the Comrade Governor still alive and KICKING?

Make una helpme close my mouth naaaa! So, police talk say dem no get power reach to rescue the man? Hiannn naija I hail o. So dem no fit arrest the uncle, bring the boy down and keep am for a home for disabled?
Hiannnnnn Naijiriyaaaaaaa. Na everyday shame dey catch me for our police and leaders o.
Big shame dey do me now. I understand neighbours wey no fit do much, afterall we all dey strugle to chop and drink and we must go out work so to just take sick man put for house no be option. But our government, wey supose build a shelter, employ people ( job creation) to help the helpless sef throway face, dem no go UK go see how dem dey run society? Na only TV fee and parking ticket and toll gate naim dem go learn for UK ni?
Odiegwu o, me no fit fight o I join the group wey dey look God face.

Edo state is home to several ethnicities, [size=20pt]among them the Bini, Esan and Afemai.[/size] The state is renowned for its proficiency in sports and athletics and a culture of intellectual edification and scholastic excellence. The University of Benin, one of Nigeria's prominent Universities is located in Edo State, as are other institutions of higher learning.

We have absolutely NOTHING IN COMMON. . .it shows you do not know anything past your ONITSHA BRIDGE. . . .
Pity!

How crippled is this guy. Is it that he is crippled or a bit mentally slow.

He seems unable to do anything with himself considering he cant even get himself out of there.

Na wa o. What a wicked family member. How can you just dump a whole human being on a refuse heap like rubbish.

Na wa o. Where is the governor. Someone needs to take this to the front page.

I'm not too mad at the uncle
I'm not very mad at the young man.
But I'm weakened by the fact that people climbed up there took pictures and came back down to scream for 'help'

Like seriously?
The uncle. One man. Held all the witnesses hostage such that none of them can do anything to help the crippled guy?

Well I don't believe it.

Lord have mercy. This is so unfair yet we have religious fanatics all over the place. Wickedness every where. Nigerians always taking advantage of the slightest opportunity to exploit others. Jeez.


height of lawlesness.sunday na them go carry bible go church. Wednesday them go say them dey go home cell fellowship. Muslims will wake every body in the neighbourhood because they want to display how holy and religious they are and how they can practice 5 times a day prayer but to practice love and hospitality



No wonder God is punishing us with the kind of unreasonable and shameless political leaders

Only if there is a recurrent theme. . . happening WEEKLY!

When we have ALHAJIS with Igbo names. . . .crossing the RIVER NIGER to inhabit other people's lands ever in search of BIAFRA?
In this day and age. . .when BOKO HARAM DON REACH ABA AND ENUGU?


You must be kidding right?
