Boko Haram kid victim Ali Ahmadu walking again

The boy, who was wheeled onto the plane three months ago on his way to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, for the  life-changing surgery, disembarked from an Ethiopian
Airline flight at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja yesterday without assistance.
His treatment cost $63,000.
Ali, who was dressed in a grey blazer, a white shirt and a pair of blue jeans thrilled the crowd by walking briskly.
It was hectic controlling those who trooped out to catch a glimpse of the boy. He simply told reporters who asked him how he was feeling: “I am fine.”
When asked in Hausa about his experience in Dubai, Ali said lafiya lao (fine, thank you).
He arrived in Abuja with his aunt Hannatu Madu, the Coordinator of Global Initiative for Peace, Love and Care (GIPLC),  Nuhu Kwajafa and representatives of Dickens Sanomi Foundation, sponsors of the medical trip.
Reporters asked him what he wanted to be in future, he replied in Hausa: “I want to be a policeman. I want to save people from harm.”
The Taleveras Foundation announced a scholarship up to the university level for Ali.
Chairman of Dickens Sanomi Foundation, who doubles as Chairman of Taleveras Group, Mr. Igho Sanomi, said: “About three months ago, we all witnessed at the same airport Ali Ahmadu been taken away on a wheel chair. Today, to the glory of God, we are here to receive Ali Ahmadu, walking handsomely into our arms.
“What started as a painful journey  for little Ali after his Boko Haram attack in Chibok, four years ago that confined him to a wheel chair, has transformed into a journey of hope, love and care.
“Dickens Sanomi Foundation will be working with Ali’s family through GIPLC and will be supporting Ali’s post-surgery life as we help him settle into Abuja, to grow as a child with love and care.
“I am authorised to announce that an educational scholarship will be provided for Ali, until he gets to university by the Taleveras Foundation.  May God bless you all.”
