Wonders In Benue As ‘mentally Derailed’ Man Offers Medical Services To Peoples by kennyify88: 9:32am On Jun 20, 2021
A mentally derailed man identified as Mr
Denen has kept many in shock in the city of
Makurdi, the Benue State capital as residents
continue to troop to him at the JS Tarka
Foundation where he offers medical
services to a large number of people with
different health challenges.


A Benue State broadcast platform, Citizen TV
visited the venue on Wednesday, and
reported the mentally unstable man would
upon seeing a patient, write a number of Tiv
traditional ailment affecting the person and
directing them to different traditional
doctors who are expected to treat the
patient.


According to a source who spoke with
DAILY POST, the man had Masters Degree
from the University of Jos before his
unfortunate predicament.


The source said a large number of patients
usually gather at the JS Tarka Foundation in
High-Level Makurdi to consult the man over
their health issues.


According to a lady who gave her name as
Sandra, she heard about the man and had to
come because she had acute pains in her
chest and it seemed to have defiled all
medical conditions.


Sandra said she had conducted the ‘mad
doctor’ and already given a piece of paper
containing what was wrong with her and
she was going to see a traditional healer.


Another patient Mr Aondohemen who spoke
with the Television crew said for him, it was
luck.


“He has shown me where to go and I am
going there. I heard about him and have to
come all the way from my village to try and
see how it will go”.


Also a worker of the man who preferred
anonymity said, he had part of his head
swollen up and had sought medical
attention from all the hospitals without any
help.


According to him, Benue State Governor,
Samuel Ortom had given him money for
treatment on several occasions but it didn’t
heal until the day he met the mentally
challenged man. He simply asked him to
apply a certain herb and he was healed.


“Since then, I always come here every
evening after my work to help him on
guiding people,” he added.


A 30-year-old woman who works to
support the mad man in attending to people
recounted how people had thanked the
man for helping them.

“They always come here. After being healed,
they come to give him cash donations.


Government officials, public servants,
policemen and many other people,” She
said.
Following the trend, a Facebook user took to
his page on Friday to express shock over the
activities of the healer-man.
According to him, “I’m a bit confused. I was
told of a ‘mad’ native doctor who sits at the
entrance of IBB Square Makurdi and
prescribes native medicine for sick people
within Makurdi town.


“I learnt of this man through one of my
friends who asked me to accompany him
and his sick brother to consult the man for a
medical solution. I was surprised when I
saw a lot of people hovering around a
supposed “mad” man for medical help.


“A young woman within the age of 29 to 30
years appeared and presented herself to be
working for the supposed “mad” man.


“Soon as we were about leaving, some
group of persons came with gifts and
money to give thanks to the man for healing
their sick son.


‘I also met one of my old girlfriends standing
close to the man and she also testified
during our conversation that she had also
received useful medical advice from the
man.


“What the man does is that he will listen to
you and consult his oracle and then directs
you on where to get native medical
attention or help.


“My friend who brought in a stroke patient
walked towards the man to make inquiries
and to my greatest surprise, he politely
asked him to queue up that he will not
attend to anyone no matter how highly
placed except he queues up behind the
other patients who were already waiting in
line.


“The man was full of confidence and guts.
He was seen sitting with beautiful girls
between the ages of 22 to 24 and above.
“Stories making the rounds also have it that
the man has his first and master’s degrees
at the prestigious University of Jos.


I’m still
surprised and shocked to my bones.”


However, another beneficiary who spoke to
DAILY POST from Markurdi, said God was
working through the man to heal people of
their various diseases.


Let me correct the impression of “Mr
Denen,” herein referred to as “a mad man”.
“For Christians, God can appear to you in
any form and you may not know. Generally,
looking at this graduate of the Prestigious
UniJos,

you may easily conclude he’s a
mentally unstable, but conversely, a mad
man is easily identified by his behaviours &
utterances, whereas, the case of this old
man is different.


“Personally, I met him there since April 2020
but had several interactive forums with him
just early this year.Let me correct a mis-
presentation here, this old man herein
referred to as “a madman” doesn’t collect
money from clients. He collects gifts
especially, food and snacks. “Yes, beautiful
girls may cluster around him in an
ambiguous presentation herein as
presented, their liberation is sure thereafter.
“In all, I wish to uphold the fact mentioned
by people that he is curing them through
the “instrumentality of God the creator” as
he normally tells people. It wasn’t a poor or
nasty outing with him anyways”, he stated.

He initially rejected/neglected his calling as a healer.
Had one in my village who from time to time will "run mad" and only gets better after displaying with leaves collected from the bush the way herbalists are known to do.
His father was a healer and he has refused to tow the line...
