A Nigerian woman, Adedotun Afusat Feyishara, in the Shogunle area of Oshodi of Lagos State has died after giving birth to quadruplets.
The 35-year-old woman died on Tuesday at the Institute of Maternal And Child Health popularly known as Ayinke House located within the premises of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in Ikeja due to complications after delivery of her babies.
According to Sahara Reporters, Adeodotun gave birth to three girls and a boy, as members of her family appeal to the government and other organizations to assist them with basic provisions for the children.
“Ironically, she died on her wedding anniversary. After waiting for seven years, she gave birth to three girls and one boy. We were rejoicing when she gave birth on Tuesday around 8:00am but our celebration was cut short by 9:00pm when we heard she died. Our joy and jubilation was turned into sadness and cries. It is really a sad incident,” he said.
The family member also called on government, non-governmental organisations and public-spirited individuals to assist them by providing food and drugs for the babies to ensure their survival.
“I’m appealing to the Lagos State Government, companies and Nigerians at large to assist the family to nurse the babies. The kids are still in intensive care, we don’t even know the cost implication for now,” he added.
Friends and family members have taken to social media to express shock at her sudden demise.
Why force God’s hand? Rip.
