Sem Lamichi Nelson, according to a close source was in second year pursuing a health science programme at Korle Bu before taking ill .
Nelson used to teach children for extra hours in a school at Akramang, the community where he lives due to his love for knowledge sharing.
To add to his plight, the young man has no one to cater for him as both his parents died at a time the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown restriction was enforced by government.

The ‘Saw Me’ singer followed up with a visit to Akramang to confirm Nelson’s story and also shared a video of himself with the mentally challenged man.
In the video, Nelson displayed pure intelligence and clearly outlined his dream to go back to school and complete his course in Human Anatomy. He also intends to enter medical school after his health program in Human Anatomy.
