A 19-year-old Level 100 student at the University of Cape Coast is battling with a rare genetic disease which has left him in a stiff standing position for the past five years.
Enock Eshun, who suffers from Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), shared how this traumatic condition has affected his life since he was first diagnosed at the age of two.
Speaking to entertainment blogger Zion Felix in an interview, Eshun explained that his condition deteriorated due to his family's reliance on herbal treatment at the early stages.
The former visual arts student of Mfantsipim School said he had to make the hard choice of remaining in a standing position, possibly for life, instead of being wheelchair-bound as a means of keeping his academic dreams alive.
