A doctor in Nigeria has shared a horrific story of his 11-year-old male patient who has maggots coming out of his butt following a 3 year long sexual assault by a male neighbour.
Dr Bright Oris said the boy was brought in by his parents on Wednesday, June 17, after his mother noticed maggots coming out of his butt.
According to the doctor, the boy had trouble sitting. His mother noticed and asked him but the boy denied saying he was alright.
The suspicious mother went on to check him while he was asleep. And there was her worst nightmare. The maggots were swarming out of his anus!
Pls come again???
The mother noticed one day that the boy wasn’t sitting properly and he denied any injury when she asked so when he was sleeping at night she decided to check; guess what she found? Maggots coming out from the boys Anus ????

She quickly talked to the boy’s father who probed the boy to reveal the identity of his abuser. But the young man was traumatized, he did not say anything.
The father became angry and beat the boy for 3 hours until he made the confession.
“Yes sir because he was refusing to tell me who was sexually abusing him”
**Deep Sigh ????… I didn’t know if to turn my anger on the man for horrible parenting or just keep it centered on that elephant in the room.

The perpetrator was their former neighbour, a married man.
the boy refused to talk all this while because the neighbor threatened to kill him if he ever said a word about it to anyone ????????♂️
3 whole years! And the said neighbor is married. He ran away when the police was involved.
(Abusers always use threat to keep their victims silent)

To make the matters worse, the abuse began three years ago, long after the family moved to a new location. And he threatened to kill the boy if he dared tell anyone of his dirty secret.
Doctor Oris goes on to narrate that after the family moved, the neighbour would still visit them and would sometimes take the boy with him.
The said neighbour has since been on the run when he caught wind of the story.
My small finger could barely go in without resistance and yet a grown man was putting his adult sized penis in this small boy… what an animal!
I’m pained, angry and disgusted at thesame time
But I had to keep it together and not let my anger out.— Dr Bright Oris (@Doctorr_Bright) June 17, 2020
After a physical examination, the doctor found the boy to have anal warts.
He added that he screened the patient for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases. They were awaiting results at the time.
No doubt this boy will also need lots of psychotherapy for a long time…
I can’t even begin to imagine the ripple effects this experience might have on him. ????
