Disability rights advocate David Anyaele, who lost both hands in a 1999 attack by Sierra Leonean rebels during the civil war, spoke publicly in Enugu about his survival and rehabilitation.
After being rescued by ECOMOG forces and initially receiving no government support, he reached out to then-Lagos Governor Bola Tinubu, who arranged medical evaluations and funded his treatment in Germany, including artificial hands.
