“The fracture is more important than previously thought and requires a fast surgery, the doctors said that within a week, he must be operated, otherwise, there may be a risk of complications. We are very shocked, “said Ferdinand Ayité.

“We are in the process of mobilizing resources to enable him to get the operation. He has already started the checkup that the doctor asked. After, we will get into the most important phase concerning his operation. At the very least, we need six hundred and fifty thousand (650,000) Francs Cfa for this surgery and therefore these are funds that need to be quickly raised to enable the operation as earlier as possible, “said the editor of the newspaper L’ Alternative.
