It would be recalled that the student lost both hands after being electrocuted while hoisting the flag of the People\u2019s Democratic Party, PDP, near the polytechnic gate in Jalingo.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on May 21, 2025, and Paul underwent surgery on June 19, 2025.<\/p>\n

Initially, the state government, through Operation Keep Taraba Clean Coordinator, Iliya Kefas took responsibility for his medical bills.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Monday in Jalingo, the state capital, he expressed sadness at the inability of the state government to come to his aide after the surgery, claiming that the government had since abandoned him, leaving him without proper medical care.<\/p>\n

He also alleged that doctors have left him unattended to, and he is struggling to receive necessary treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite my critical condition, I have been left to fend for myself. The government\u2019s abandonment has left me and my family in distress.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am appealing for assistance from the state government to fulfill its commitment to my medical care.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI need immediate attention to receive necessary treatment and rehabilitation,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some of the doctors in Jalingo, who confided in our reporter, pointed accusing fingers at the state government for the neglect, citing the inability of the government to fulfill the promise as regards the medical upkeep of the student.<\/p>\n
