…As wife begs him
to come home
ABEOKUTA — A 30-year-old mother of triplets, Bose Akapo,
has cried after
his wife delivered
of triplets.
d out for help in search of her husband, Biodun Akapo, 45, who
reportedly absconded shortly
Vanguard gathered that the father of the triplets, who is a farmer
at Afojupa village, a suburb of Owode-Egba town in Obafemi-Owode Local
Government Area of Ogun State, bolted when he received the news of
the birth of the triplets.
It was further gathered that the wife and the runaway husband are
indigenes of Ibadan and have been living together as a happy family in
the village for over a decade, before the arrival of the triplets.
Narrating her ordeal, Bose, who delivered the babies last Wednesday
at a maternity home in the town, explained that she was bailed out
at the hospital by a traditional ruler of the town, Oba Kolawole
Sowemimo, who paid the hospital bill.
She further said her husband had gone out before she started having
pains and was assisted to the hospital on a motorcycle by a neighbour.
According to her, “I never thought of three babies until when I put
to bed because I already had two children who are ages five and eight. I
was taken to hospital on a motorcycle by a neighbour when I started
noticing signs of delivery, because my husband was not at home at that
time. But, surprisingly, I gave birth to triplets and when the news got
to my husband he did not visit me throughout my admission in the
hospital, and has since remained incommunicado. I don’t even know his
whereabouts till now, but I am begging him to come home for the sake
of these innocent babies.
“When I got to the hospital, because I could not find my husband, I
contacted our traditional ruler who rendered financial assistance and
provided clothings and other medical materials for the babies.”
She, however, appealed to the state government, individuals and
groups to come to the aid of the family, just as she sought for
employment to alleviate the family’s plight, saying she could be
reached through her phone numbers 08025213476 and 08061640242.
Vanguard gathered that the woman and the triplets are all in stable
condition and have been discharged from the hospital.
Speaking on the development, the royal father of the town, Oba
Kolawole Sowemimo, expressed optimism that the state government would
attend to the needs of the family, describing the Ibikunle Amosun-led
administration as a government known for the welfare of the citizens
and residents.
