Old woman with Dementia found wandering on the streets of Calabar yet to be identified (See Photos)

A Facebook user, Ray Ugba Morphy
found the wandering, disoriented old
woman who is possibly suffering from
dementia, on the streets of Calabar on
Friday, February 12. According to Mr
Morphy, she doesn’t remember her
name or those of her family members.
“She only recalls that she is a native of
Ikot Abasi! She probably stepped out
of the house and can’t find her way
back. Obviously, her people would be
looking for her. Please help share her
pictures until someone can recognise
her and come for her. We need to get
her home to her family. Much thanks
for sharing and do keep sharing”
Morphy said.
“She was too weak to even spoon feed
herself. Had to first give her water
and then give her a few spoonfuls b4
she gained enough strength to handle
the spoon by herself” he added in a
later post.
Unfortunately, at the moment nobody
has come forward to identify her. She
was taken to an old people’s home run
by the Catholic Church in Calabar, an
update posted by Morphy on Friday
disclosed.
“Thanks all for your support in the
effort to find the relations of this old
lady! We had well over 500 shares
which shows that we Nigerians, we
truly care for one another. However,
nobody has come for her so far to
claim her, so I have just checked her
into the old people’s home run by the
Catholic Church at Target in Calabar”.
Any of her relations or anyone who
wants to help can and find her now
easily at that home! However, I
wonder why it is only the Catholic
Church that runs old people’s homes
on Nigeria?” He said.More photos…
