This Nigerian boy was abandoned on the streets for being a witch.His mother suspected he was the source of their frequent misfortunes and took him to the streets and left him for death.
He lived on the streets for eight months feeding on scraps thrown to him by passers by. He became very emaciated and dirty with his body riddled with worms.
The boy, referred to as Hope, smiled again on January 31 when a Danish humanitarian aid worker,Miss Anja Ringgren Loven ,found him wandering the streets and immediately took him to the hospital ,where he was given a thorough bath, treated of the worms and given blood transfusion.
He is expected to start schooling after being treated and fed to face the public.
