The young boy who had resided in bushes and eaten grasses for meals is now a house owner.
This is courtesy of the same humanitarian foundation named Afrimax that had paid him and his mum a visit in a video that went viral.
In their recent video to his village, they took him and the mum to the city for what they described as a surprise.
In the heartwarming video shared on Instagram by @kingtundeednut, the mum couldn't believe her eyes as they were presented with a new well-furnished 3-bedroom bungalow and wads of cash.
A cow was also gifted to them to help provide milk for the lad's consumption.

Reacting to the developments, the mother of the disabled child said it was the happiest moment of their lives as they hadn't been stunned this way before.
Narrating the events that led to his delivery, the mother said he was birthed in 1997 after all their 5 children died.
They had, out of desperation, prayed to God for a child even if it meant it would be disabled.
According to her, God heard them but she became a widow days after the lad's delivery.
The overjoyed woman showered encomiums on the foundation for showering them with love.
Massive reactions have trailed the video.

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported about a man with no hands who is doing well as a filmmaker.
The young man was born with a birth defect called limb hypoplasia which affected the development of the limbs and left him with no hands and tiny legs.
Without allowing this to hold him back, Thesun.co.uk reported that Isaac started vlogging and filming himself playing games with his feet which amazed many social media users.
His online presence grew and now, the 26-year-old is recognised as one of the best filmmakers in London as he has won awards for his hard work and exploits.
