What Don Jazzy Did For Female Footballer Who Publicly Begged To Treat Her Knee Injury

Music Mogul, Michael Ajaere, better known as Don Jazzy, has gifted a Benue-based female footballer, who publicly asked for financial assistance the sum of N6 million.

This comes after the lady, simply identified as Abisola Fakiyesi, detailed her struggle with a knee injury in a post via X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.

Fakiyesi said she twisted her left knee, and it immediately became swollen last year in  November.

She said, “A few days later, I started feeling some bad pain in my knee, I did an X-ray, and no issue was seen on the X-ray, the doctor administered some drugs, and I thought I’d be fine as long as I rest the leg.”

”I went home for Christmas and resumed in January only to realize that the club has demoted me to the junior team in Makurdi and reduced my salary without providing me with any basic medical care regarding my knee injury.”

The footballer said she later did a scan and discovered that she had torn her anterior cruciate ligament and needed surgery to fix it immediately.

Fakiyesi said the cost of treatment and surgery is about N6 million.

She said, ”I have been in pain for the past 1 year. I cannot do any training or walk long distances cause of the injury.” 

“I have really struggled with asking for help and putting this story out there, but honestly, I am not financially and mentally capable of doing this alone without help.”

Responding to the post, the music executive registered his sympathy with the footballer and thereafter gifted Fakiyesi N6 million to undergo her knee surgery.
