A man says he is now born again after he discovered a knife was forgotten in his body and remained there for weeks.

The Twitter user said he was stabbed last November and went to the hospital where the doctor told him the wound wasn’t that deep and he was stitched.

For weeks after that, he said his health declined and he kept falling sick.

He later visited his family doctor who asked him to go for an X-ray and when he did, it was discovered that he has a knife lodged in his chest.

He was transferred to University of Benin Teaching Hospital where surgery was performed to remove the knife.

He shared photos of his chest x-ray and photos of himself on his hospital bed after his surgery and thanked God for saving him.
