Enochay first gained national attention through an interview with Zion Felix, where he opened up about the challenges of living with a rare medical condition that prevented him from sitting or bending.

At just 19 years old and a first-year student at the University of Cape Coast, he explained that he had lived with the condition for about five years. Because he could neither sit nor bend, he had to remain standing or lying down throughout the day.

His condition also made transportation extremely difficult. Unable to use regular public transport, Enochay relied on hiring private vehicles every day to attend lectures and carry out activities on campus, placing a heavy financial burden on his family.

Following the public response to his story, the Chief Executive Officer of Yesu Dea, a subsidiary of VIP Buses Transport Services Limited, Yaw Amponsah Marfo, popularly known as Agya Wiase, came to his aid.
