Husband Disappears As Wife Gives Birth To Twins In Abuja

A man identified as Mr Martin Nwosu reportedly ran way as
his wife was at the verge of delivering a set of twins in
Abuja recently.
The whole scenario started when the man reportedly told
the wife to abort the pregnancy, saying that he did not
want to have more babies, but the woman, Mrs Gloria
Johnson, refused to abort the pregnancy.
While speaking to Saturday Tribune, Mrs Johnson said that
months into her pregnancy, Nwosu packed out of the house
owing to his inability to live up to his financial
responsibility, including failure to pay his rent.
According to her, “when I became pregnant, I told him, he
was happy but a month after that, he changed. He used to
give me N1,000, but he cut it down to N500, and I have a
son for him already. Anytime I complained to him that the
money was small, he would tell me that there was no
work.
“In the long run, he stopped coming back to the house after
work, and whenever I asked him why he didn’t come back
to the house, he would tell me that he had no transport
money.”
“We are owing the landlord, my husband said I should bring
money, I told him that I didn’t have money because I fried
akara and yam, he would become angry and said that I
would get tired of the house, then he packed all his
property and left the house.”
Johnson, who hails from Abak Local Government Area in
Akwa Ibom State, further said that when she was in labour,
friends and neighbours of her husband tried getting across
to him by phone to come and take her to the hospital, but
that he refused to come, until one of the neighbours took
her to Asokoro General Hospital, Abuja.
She said that Asokoro General Hospital refused to take her
in because she didn’t register with them, and that she was
taken to another private hospital where she was also
rejected.
“When I was in labour, people called him on phone to come
and pick me, he refused, so our neighbours took me to
Asokoro Hospital but I was not registered with them and
they refused to accept me. Then they took me to another
private hospital, where they rejected me again and we went
to another hospital where I delivered.
“Throughout that period, I was calling my husband’s
number but he switched off his phone. I delivered the twins
by Cesarean Session (CS) and I lost a lot blood. I can’t
feed them and I can’t pay the N150, 000 hospital bill,” she
added.
Saturday Tribune gathered that a National Youth Service
Corps member, identified as Onuoha Adenike signed an
undertaken to take the woman out of the hospital to raise
her hospital bill.
