Post By Diaspoint | October 3, 2023

A set of three newborn triplets and their mother, Asmau Abubakar, are stranded at the Murtala Muhammed Specialists Hospital in Kano State.

Naija News gathered that the mother of the babies who underwent a cesarean section has been left at the hospital unattended to by family who are unable to afford essential care.

Speaking to Premium Times, the father of the triplets, Usman Magaji, who hails from Kuyan ta Inna’ in Kumtboso Local Government, said even though his wife’s cesarean section was done for free, he had spent all his savings on drugs and other consumables.

Magaji, who appealed to the government and kind Nigerians for support, said he isn’t sure when they will be discharged from the hospital, but his wife and the newborns need to be catered for, and he has run out of resources for that.

The triplets’ father, who is a labourer, told the platform, “I have spent all my savings from the day she was admitted to the hospital, and I am left with nothing that is why I am soliciting assistance from the government and Nigerians.

“From the day she was admitted for the delivery, I spent over N70,000 I am worried that the spending will continue because she is still in the hospital with no date fixed for discharge because she delivered through a cesarean section.
