Adding that he has come to terms with what happened, Nabil said he has also gotten used to wearing a prosthetic arm while doing deliveries. He revealed that he chose to wear the prosthetic arm to “cover his imperfection” whilst he’s out there making a living.

“I don’t want people to sympathise with me. I want to stand on my own feet. Also, I want customers to feel comfortable with my presence,” he explained.
