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.
Via 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 neighbors 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 neighbors 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.
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.
