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.
