For what many may
describe as blessing, a Bricklayer, Mr. Adewale Omole, has absconded from his
home. He fled because his wife gave birth to triplet.
Mrs
Abosede Omole, the mother of the triplets, expressed fear that her husband may
never return home because of his inability to cope with the financial
challenges. She is calling on Nigerians for help.
Mrs.
Omole, who disclosed that the family had been blessed with the two children before
the arrival of the triplets said they were living in Lagos before the scan
revealed that she might deliver more than a baby.
According to
her, “We were living in Lagos but when I was feeling very uncomfortable with
the pregnancy, we went for scan and the result predicted twins.
Since then my
husband has been behaving strangely and complaining on how he would cope with
raising the twins. He asked us to relocate to Ekiti State, our home state and I
thought his attitude would change.
But when I was due
to deliver the babies, I could not afford going to hospital but went to
a spiritual
home, Sabbath Mission Church, located in Ado-Ekiti with the hope of getting
assistance from the Mission clinic, but when I could not deliver the babies
safely in the mission clinic, they rushed me to Ekiti State University Teaching
Hospital (EKSUTH) where I was delivered of the triplets on Friday, January 31
of this year.
“Immediately my
husband who was already jittery of the twins heard that I gave birth to
triplets he absconded and switched off his phones.
She said since
the disappearance of her husband, life had not been the same again, as
she, the two previous children and the newly born triplets now find it
difficult to survive.
The woman who could
not control her emotions while speaking to news men yesterday appealed to the
state government, traditional rulers, politicians as well as other well meaning
members of the public to urgently come to her aid as one of the triplets is
having some complications, so that she does not die prematurely.
Corroborating her
ordeal, the Matron in-charge of maternity at EKSUTH, Mrs. Adenike
Oluyide said one of the triplets is currently battling with life at the Special
Baby Care Units of the hospital and appealed to spirited Nigerians to assist
her in any form to safe the life of the baby and the family.
