Taiwo Lawal who is just one year old is in a battle to save his life. The youngster who was playing with his friends on Sunday was hit by a stray bullet from robbers who had invaded the Gbagada area at the time. Due to his age, he couldn’t run into the house and as a result got hit by the bullet. The toddler is currently at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital where he is fighting for his life. He needs about N500,000 for a surgery to take out the bullet which is currently lodged in his head. According to his aunty, a bullet had already been removed from the youngster’s head but he is still in critical condition. She said, “When we got to LUTH, a scan was done and it was discovered that the bullet pierced through one end of Taiwo’s skull to the other end but the bullet did not exit through the other end. The bullet also missed his brain. If the bullet had exited his skull, he would have bled to death”. So far, the family has spent over N120,000 but are unable to afford the rest which would cover C T Scans, drugs and other medical procedures. they are calling out to the Lagos State Government and well meaning Nigerians to help them in this time of need.
