We were both lecturers of the Obafemi Awolowo University at the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health. Paediatric Endocrinologists attend to the health needs of children with diabetes, growth hormone , genital problems and things like that. I don’t think there are to up to 12 people who specialised in this field in Nigeria. Somebody, who sacrificed so much to stay behind in Nigeria, despite his expertise, was killed in a way worse than a Christmas chicken. We only knew when and where, which was on the road where there was no infrastructure for resuscitation and security.
