Man appeals for financial assistance to undergo surgery after okada accident
A 38-year-old man, Mr. Olaleye Rasheed Olanrewaju, has been bedridden for two years following a motorcycle accident and is now seeking financial support from the public for urgent surgery to repair his broken leg.
Narrating his ordeal, Olanrewaju shared that the accident occurred around 8 p.m. while he was on his way home from work at Ile-Epo Market in Lagos. He was struck from behind by a hit-and-run dispatch rider in Agege.
“I was hit from the back and fell. The rider didn’t stop, but kind-hearted people nearby helped me up, and I managed to walk home despite the pain,” Olanrewaju recounted.
However, the situation worsened over time. “I started feeling unbearable pain in my leg and eventually couldn’t use it anymore. My family first took me to a native bone-setter, but after six months of treatment, there was no significant improvement. We then went to a General Hospital, which referred me to the National Orthopedic Hospital, Igbobi, Yaba,” he said.

At the orthopedic hospital, doctors confirmed he required surgery to fix the leg. The estimated cost of the procedure is ₦3,112,220, a sum that has proven difficult for Olanrewaju to raise despite all efforts.
“I’m appealing to kind-hearted Nigerians to help me. I’ve been unable to work, and my family is struggling to raise the money for the surgery,” he pleaded.
