Ali Ahmadu, a 6-year-old victim of Boko Haram attack in Chibok, Borno State has successfully undergone a spinal cord surgery in Dubai, United Arab Emirate.
Ali, who was flown out of the country by Dickens Sanomi Foundation survived a six-hour operation that put him back on his feet after being restricted to a wheelchair for three years.
The foundation has collaborated with a non-governmental organization, the global initiative for peace, love and care, which drew the attention of Nigerians to the boy’s plight.
