A 30-year-old mother of triplets, Bose Akapo, has cried out for help in
search of her husband, Biodun Akapo, 45, who reportedly absconded
shortly after his wife delivered of triplets.
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.”
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.
