“I am now blind as I am talking to you. I seriously need financial assistance. I don’t have food to eat and feed my family,” he told Leadership.
Karkuzu said his doctors told him he has glaucoma and that he unsuccessfully tried surgery twice.
“I have been under the knife twice, but finally the doctors said it is glaucoma, and that I will never see again. I have accepted that as my destiny. But Nigerians should kindly help me. Get me this house, and some food,” he said.
