The Permanent Secretary incharge of Ministry of Trade and Commerce, Barrister Samuel Ike, has revealed that cockroach lived in his ear for four months
He Made the confession at St James Anglican Church Sunday, during a Thanksgiving service in his iyi-owa Odekpe, Ogbaru local government area of Anambra State
He told The Razor News Sunday, during his Thanksgiving at St James Anglican Church, iyi-owa Odekpe, Ogbaru local government area of the State, that he was not only thanking God for the position, but on how He saved his life
He explained that the cockroach tormented him while trying unsuccessfully to gain entrance into his brain before it was successfully removed.
According to the new Perm Sec, “I am not only here to thank God over my recent appointment as a Permanent Secretary. I want to thank Him because if not Him, I would have died before now.
“When I was driving one day, I noticed a moving something in my ear. It was a medium sized cockroach. I don’t know how it penetrated into my ear.
” It lived in my ear for four months. I visited a hospital at Obosi for two months before it was successfully removed from my ear. The doctor told me I would have run mad if it had succeeded in gaining entrance into my brain. It was brought out alive and killed by us,” he confessed
The permanent Secretary also recalled other several experiences he passed through before his present appointment
These, according to him, were having sleepless nights for four days, and circumstances that would have turned him into a cripple barely a week of his appointment.
The Anambra State Head of Service, Harry Uduh, urged the new permanent Secretary to continue on his diligence to service as God would reward him more.
Earlier in a sermon, the Anglican Bishop, Aguata Diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Samuel Nwofor, charged Nigerians to always praise God’s name
Nwofor, who presided the service ,amidsts other clergies and prelates, said only God could have saved the new Permanent Secretary, based on his narration, adding that it was the reason people should call Upon Him in any circumstance
