A ‘struggling’ married man identified as
Mr Martin Nwosu reportedly ran way as his wife was at the verge of
delivering a set of twins in Abuja.
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, Gloria Johnson, refused to
abort the pregnancy.
While speaking to 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 area of
Akwa Ibom State, further said that when she was in labour, friends and
neighbours of her husband tried getting across to him by phone to come
and take her to the hospital, but he refused, until one of the
neighbours 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. we went to another hospital where I delivered.
“When I was in labour, people called him
on phone to come and pick me, he refused,“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.
Tribune gathered that a NYSC member,
identified as Onuoha Adenike signed undertaken to take the woman out of
the hospital to raise her hospital bill.
