Woman Collapses In Sabon Tasha, Rescued By Good Samaritans
A woman who collapsed at NITEL Quarters in Sabo was revived after quick intervention from passersby, including eyewitness Reuben Buhari.
Mr. Buhari in a Facebook post, explained that he had just driven into the area when he saw the woman lying unconscious in front of his car.
“I spoke to her, but she didn’t move. I shook her, but nothing. I then checked her pulse on her wrist and neck, and thankfully, I found she was still alive,” he said.
As he sought help, a man and two women joined him. While checking her bag for a phone to contact her relatives, they instead found an empty inhaler, indicating that she had suffered an asthma attack.
“We got water and splashed it on her, and after a couple of minutes she moaned, then her eyes opened slowly. We helped her sit up, moved her to the side of the road, and gave her water to drink,” Buhari narrated.
The woman later identified herself as a resident of Ungwan Pama. She said she had trekked to Gbagyi Villa in search of money from her aunt to buy an inhaler. Unable to find her aunt, she began walking back home when she collapsed from exhaustion, hunger, and her condition.
According to Buhari, residents did what they could to support her.
“We were able to do a little for her, including a house owner who brought food when she complained of hunger,” he added.
He urged the public to draw lessons from the incident, stressing the importance of gratitude and compassion.
“This woman had no money for transport, she was sick and hungry. Yet, many of us still think God hasn’t blessed us,” Buhari said.
