Help Save Gbemi – Support David Lekan Otegbade's Recovery
On a Saturday morning that changed everything, David Lekan Otegbade, a student of Electrical/Electronics Engineering, OAU, and popularly known as Gbemi — was on his way to his IT placement when a speeding car, moving at about 120km/h, hit him while he waited to cross the road.
He was rushed to the hospital and slipped into a coma for two months. Scans revealed severe head trauma from the impact, requiring emergency brain surgery. He also lost his left kneecap and suffered a fracture in his left hand. As a result of the accident, he now experiences seizures.
It's been over three months, and Gbemi is thankfully recovering — but he's not fully well yet, and the hospital bills have drained what funds were available. There's pressure to discharge him before he's fully stable, simply because the money isn't there to keep his care going.
is care going.
This is where we need you. We’re calling on fellow OAU students, alumni, and families to come together and support Gbemi’s continued treatment. No amount is too small — every contribution brings him closer to full recovery.
Please give what you can, and share this with anyone who might help. Let’s stand with Gbemi.
