He stated that he saw him at a failed section along the Ado/Badore road in Lagos.
Opening up on his reason for taking up the job, Etim revealed that he had to spend his life savings for his treatment claiming Nigeria abandoned him.
He further stated,
“I sustained an injury, and when I came back, Nigeria refused to take care of my injury, so I had to use my life savings to go back to America in September 1985 to take care of the injury.
But I still come out to volunteer myself to give back to my country. People are saying, ‘why should you do that? They didn’t take care of you’”.
The video, which went viral, drew the attention of Ahmed Musa.
