“Yes they came as six but we lost one girl. Four boys and a girl are now left in the hospital incubators”. 

However, the burden of settling bills at the hospital where the babies are still under medical watch and caring for them afterwards remains herculean for the police officer and his wife.

In his words, “It’s a big thing of joy, no doubt. But I am just a policeman making ends meet for family.

“The burden of caring for these children is enormous but it’s nothing compared to the shame, pressure and pains we have had to endure these pass seven years of childlessness.

“We thank God for answering our prayers. “I can’t help but shout out to well meaning individuals and groups to come to our aid. We can’t do it on our own.

“Thankfully, out of sheer compassion, the hospital has frozen our bill at N1.5million since we arrived through the delivery,” Vanguard reports.
