Oguntayo confirmed that the woman has been suffering for so long. He said the woman lost all her 2 kids to the cold hands of death.
Oguntayo said:
"She has been blind for more than three years now. Her husband is dead and I have been catering for her. She was not born blind. She has children but all of them are dead."
Sharing the story on Twitter, Oluwakayode wrote:
"I really wanna plea for this woman (Mrs Mulikat Sofiu O.) to be helped. If there is another word beyond 'abject poverty', we should use it. Blind and lives in a rented apartment. I got to know her because she lives very close to me
"I used to greet her and give her a token anytime I pass by. But moving close to her, I realised she really needs more than this token. She has nobody. All her biological children are late. She refused to go out there to beg, rather stay indoors and observe her prayers."
He said those willing to help should contact: Mr. Oguntayo J. Akin on 08054178916.
