She said the reverend father's car, which was going at a high speed, hit a tricycle she was in, which eventually cost her legs.

At the hospital, she said they promised to get her artificial legs when she recovered.

However, they did not honour their words, and all efforts on her part to reach the priest to remind him of his promise have been futile. In her words:

"...I was not inside the car with the reverend father. I was inside keke (tricycle), then this reverend father, he was on high speed. He jammed (hit) the keke that I was sitting inside. That was how I got to lose my two legs.
"And they came to the hospital. They promised to get me an artificial leg once I got better. And immediately I needed the artificial leg, I chatted this reverend father up on WhatsApp, and he said that there is nothing that the church can do about it.
