Man abandoned wife who delivered twin babies
According to the woman, her husband, Nwosu, who seemed happy at
first when she revealed that they were expecting twin babies, later told
her to abort the pregnancy.
ccording to her, Nwosu let their residence over his
inability to handle the financial responsibility of caring for the new
babies.
The couple already had a son together before the incident happened, the Daily Post reports.
Gloria disclosed the circumstances that led to the disappearance of her husband in an interview with Nigeria Tribune.
She said, “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."
The
aggrieved woman also narrated that all the efforts made by close
friends and relatives in locating her husband proved abortive.
Nwosu had declined to return home to take her to the hospital, despite several appeals.
“When
I was in labour, friends and neighbours of my husband tried getting
across to him by phone to come and take me to the hospital, but he
refused to come, until one of the neighbours took me to Asokoro General
Hospital, Abuja."
“The hospital refused
to take me in because I didn’t register with them. I was taken to
another private hospital where I was also rejected.
I delivered my
babies at another hospital in Abuja that accepted me because I was in
serious pains,” Gloria, who hails from Abak Local Government Area
in Akwa Ibom State added."
“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 said.
