Already the family has already launched an campaign entitled: “Agent Appeal, Save Our Brother” poster with Access bank account number 0037307698, bearing one Ene Itodo, suspected to a blood sister to the victim.

Itodo of Benue state indigene has been at 44 Referral Hospital Kaduna since December 2020 after he was diagnosed with a spinal cord injury.

Aged 33, David Itodo, who attended Padopas Harmony secondary school, makurdi Benue state has been reportedly sitting in one spot for the past five years due to spinal cord injury.

A source who pleaded anonymity told Journalist that Itodo‘s ordeal started in September 2020 when he had an accident in Abia State while carrying out his assignment as a Nigerian soldier.

He said, “Itodo has been in 44 Reference Hospital since December 8, 2020. To get better, he needs Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI), a wheelchair, and financial assistance.

The question many have consistenly asked without corresponding answers are whether or not Nigeria army and government has no resources to sponsor the injury, was the reason for keeping him in 44 hospital since 2020?.

All effort made to speak to 1 division Nigeria army spokesman (1Div) proved abortive as he could not response till the time of filing this reports.
