Surgeons battled to reconstruct his face. Dr. Evan Garfein, chief of plastic surgery at Montefiore said: "He was attacked by six pit bulls on his way home from the candy store.

 

"He lost a tremendous amount of blood. He was found by his brother with the dogs still attacking him."

 

Dr Garfein had come across the fundraiser and said he wanted to help the poor boy out, reports The Sun Online.

He said: "He had about 50 to 60% of his scalp torn away.

 

"Most of his forehead, his left ear, part of his left cheek, major injuries to both arms and both legs."

 

Shereen Antoinette Grindley, Mickele's mum said the five-year-old was recovering well.

"He is recuperating very fast, he is eating, he is talking, he is just amazing, amazing. I'm so overwhelmed."

 

"I'm so happy, where he is coming from and where he is now."

 

Speaking about the doctors and those who had donated, she said: "I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you very much."

    Boko Haram throws Maiduguri into darkness again, blows up power tower.

    Barely 72 hours after electric power was restored in Maiduguri, Borno State, Boko Haram insurgents on Saturday, March 27,  blew up another transmission tower in the city. Premium Times reports that the insurgents planted explosives on each leg of the tower, which they detonated at about 6 a.m. In January, the terrorists struck power installations thrice at a location about 50km from Maiduguri to keep the city in the dark. The power, was however, restored on Wednesday, March 24, after nearly two months of blackout. While reconnecting the installation, three TCN officials were severely injured by a landmine planted by the insurgents. Another official was said to have lost his life after falling off a tower. The city has now been thrown into another darkness following the Saturday morning attack.
