A student of Anthony Village Senior High School under the Lagos State Education District 2, Miss Imeh Favour has rescued a collapsed asthmatic victim.
Miss Imeh, who is currently in SS3 was on her way home after school on Wednesday, the 24th of January, 2024 when she met her classmate Ayinde Daniel who was running to the pharmacy to get an inhaler for someone who just had an asthma attack and is dying.
She immediately told him to tell her where it was happening, and he went ahead to the pharmacy, while Miss Imeh headed to the location of the incident.
When she got there, she noticed the man was lying face down and was still inhaling dust which was bad for his condition. Not so many people were willing to come close and touch the man. She tried to turn him over but could not as he was too weighty for her.
She asked for help and some people came close, helped turn him over and she started using her inhaler; although she does not share but was willing to share because it was an emergency.
After administering the first puff, the man didn’t respond, Miss Imeh administered another, but he still did not respond. At this point, she was becoming shaky and scared that the man might not survive.
She started to cry and eyewitnesses told her to calm down. With shaky hands, she administered the inhaler one last time and the man regained consciousness. With tears in her eyes, she embraced him and he thanked her for saving his life.
People around her appreciated and blessed her for being so courageous and helpful.
This act of kindness has since gone viral on the internet, drawing the attention of a broadcast media outfit, Mainland F.M 98.3fm.
Management of the said broadcast media outfit announced plans to visit the Anthony Village Senior High School on Tuesday 6th of February, 2024 to appreciate this young hero.
