The story has been told about the miraculous cure of a 40-year-old
mentally ill woman who has been simply identified as Olubisi Aina at
Sanyo area of Ibadan, Oyo State on Tuesday, 11th December, 2012 after an
auto accident.
According to the Tribune, which reported the story, the way and
manner in which Olubisi Aina regained her sanity after about a decade or
more of insanity is amazing and it could be described as a wonder. Aina
had been insane for 10 years or thereabout and paraded herself, most
often nakedly, on the Sanyo-Temidire-Agbamu road, her habitation for
over a decade.
She usually slept on her back with her face up in drainages or on the
main road close to the bridge on Damo River in the area; and come rain
or shine, Olubisi was always in her habitat and is well known in the
neighbourhood. Perhaps that was her saving grace on Monday, 10th
December, 2012 when a car ran over her where she was sleeping at about
9a.m.
Olubisi was quickly rushed to Oore-Ofe Hospital and Maternity Home
where her bruised mouth and legs were attended to. However, after being
discharged, patron of the hospital, Mr Toyin Adesina, advised that she
should have a bath. She was later led by acquaintances to Damo River
where she was given new sponge and soap for her bath. As she raised the
sponge above her head, she said “Thank you God” in Yoruba Language.
Instantly, she regained her sanity and whatever question was posed to
her, she answered accurately!
