Beyond Disabilities: Edwin Iguodala was involved in a motor accident on 18th of December, 2015, the impact cost me my left arm.

Prior to the accident, he had just returned to the country after completing his Masters degree in Food Science And Nutrition from the University of Leeds, the plan was for him to come and break grounds at home.

He is currently managing his own fish farm where he produces fresh and smoked catfish and in addition to that, he drives on one of the e-taxi hailing platforms (interesting how the accident did not scare him from driving) as he continue to look for job opportunities in the food industry.
