A video of a young man who had to trek a long distance carrying his sick wife to the hospital in Rivers state has left many social media users with mixed reactions.
According to a lady identified as Mumy B Oyigbo who shared the videos on Facebook, she had sighted the couple trekking on the road and noticed the sick wife was on the verge of dying.
Oyigbo stated that the outcome would have been fatal if she had not come along to help them get to the hospital.
Due to the lockdown in the state, vehicles have become scarce making movement difficult. Oyigbo stated that the lockdown will lead to the death of a lot of people as sickness and hunger continues to claim the lives of people.
She wrote:
“Watch how this coronavirus lockdown might be leading to death in Rivers State. The girl you see in the video was almost dying her husband had to carry her on his back for long because there is no vehicle on the road.
She almost fainted on the road, I couldn’t record that part because I’m the only one driving. Had to help them to my hospital. Last time, I saw a more severe case where I still drove them to my hospital free of charge where we gave the girl emergency oxygen she was a second away from death.
God save us in this Rivers state. Many sick people will die at home. If hunger does not kill other sicknesses will because you can’t go out. God save us in Rivers State
