Augustine was abandoned by his parents after being labelled as an “evil child”. He has no anal sensation and uncontrolled defecation.
He was born with imperforate anus (lack of an anal opening) as a birth defect. He came to the orphanage as a 3-month old baby after undergoing two surgeries at University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH). However, these operations failed to fully remedy his condition. Now he is 9 years old and is still using nappies.
