Bose and the triplet.
A
40-year-old farmer, Biodun Akapo, of Afojupa Village, a suburb of
Owode-Egba, Obafemi-Owode Local Government, Ogun State, has fled his
home after his wife, Bose, delivered a set of triplets last Wednesday.
Our correspondent gathered that after
Bose delivered the babies at a maternity home in the town, her husband
could not settle the hospital bills, a development that made the
traditional ruler of the town, Oba Kolawole Sowemimo, stepped in and
rescue of the mother and her triplets by picking the hospital bills.
The father of the triplets, who was said to have fled his home, had yet to return to his family on Thursday (yesterday).
The 30-year-old mother of the triplets
said her husband was not at home when she went into labour and later
taken to the hospital on a motorcycle by a neighbour.
Bose said, “I never expected the
triplets because we already had two children, aged five and eight years
old. I thank the traditional ruler of Owode-Egba, who assisted us by
providing clothing and other medical materials for the babies.”
She expressed regret that her husband
absconded on getting the news of the delivery and had refused to return
home to his family.
Bose said, “We have been together as a
happy couple for over 10 years. The birth of these triplets should not
separate us. I don’t even know his whereabouts, but I am begging him to
come back home for the sake of these innocent babies.”
She also appealed to government, individuals and groups to assist her family by providing a job for her husband.
