Mum, Omowunmi Taiwo Bankole’s Extreme Method To Treat Son’s Whitlow Backfires
Nigerian mom, Omowunmi Taiwo Bankole, desperate to treat her 2-year old son’s whitlow followed an old old wives tale which crossed a red line.
It can be understood that all that this mum wanted to do was ease her child’s pain. What makes it worrisome is the method she chose to employ. How does one explain this?
