Mother of Abandoned Newborn Twins Surfaces After Kindhearted Nigerians Settle Hospital Bill
Kindhearted Nigerians have come to the rescue of the newborn twins whose mother, Sarah Ademola, absconded after their birth at the Felken Maternity Centre in the Shomolu area of Lagos State, on December 16, 2016, (read here) due to the inability of her husband, Adeyemi Ademola to pay the hospital bill of N150,000.
However, the matter was taken to the Somolu Police Station, where a Divisional Police Officer planned to mediate.
After the report went viral yesterday, heaven smiled on the poor family as many Nigerians indicated interest in settling the bills, as well as helping the family.
An NGO that visited the family earlier on Thursday paid the N150,000 while a member of the Senate representing Lagos East, Senator Gbenga Asafa; gave the babies N100,000.
A representative of Senator Asafa, Kanmi Adebowale, said the N100,000 gift was for the upkeep of the girls, adding that the senator decided to support the family because they lived within his senatorial district.
”Immediately the report came out this morning, an NGO came and transferred the balance into our account.They also promised to give the family N50,000 to take care of the babies. They don’t want to be identified. We have received calls from many other people. A lot of them have been making promises.”
“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.”
“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.”
So nice of them…….May God bless all the giver
Nigerians are lovely people when it comes to helping people.
Hmmm whatever happened I still don’t think abandoning the kids to their fate in order to ‘take care of yourself’ was ideal
She should be ashamed
