After Nigerians paid hospital bill, mother of newborn twins re-appears

 

According to the Punch Newspaper, The babies had been detained over the inability of the family to pay the remaining N150,000 of the N300,000 medical bill.

The mother, Sarah Ademola, had fled Felken Maternity Centre on Awofodu Street, where she was delivered of the babies, due to the inability of her husband, Adeyemi Ademola, to pay the bill.

Among those who showed interest were the wife of the Lagos State Governor, Bolanle Ambode; a member of the Senate representing Lagos East, Senator Gbenga Asafa; a retired military officer, Gen. Oviemo Ovadje; and  non-governmental organisations, among others.

Some other Nigerians outside the country were also said to have called the hospital to indicate willingness to pay the bill.

 When the mother of the twins were found, Punch correspondent was told she was taken to her hometown for treatment.

 “We are grateful to Nigerians. We have found the mother of the twins, but the problem is that she is terribly sick and has been taken to her hometown in Agbowa.”

According to Sarah the mother of the twins, she said, “I didn’t abandon my twins. I had to flee the maternity centre because I was not well taken care of.

“All they were interested in was their money. They said they would not attend to me until their N300,000 was complete. I was abandoned in the place.

“After we borrowed N70,000 from the cooperative society, they still didn’t attend to me. I had to run away to find solution to my health.

“I am in a place where they are treating me now. Please pray for me to survive. I am dying. I don’t want to die. I want to live to take care of my babies. I want to reap the fruit of my labour.”
