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.
