For a very long time, the lady had always been seen around ABS because she sleeps and wakes up at the bus stand in front of the establishment on a daily basis.
All efforts to ascertain where she came from proved abortive as she often became violent whenever she is approached.
she put to bed this morning at the same bus stand, a three-point two-kg baby girl.
According. Mrs. Nwachukwu who helped in the delivery process said she was alerted and immediately rushed to the bus stand only to discover that the lady had put to bed with the help of some women but joined them to help her deliver the placenta.
When taken to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka, the Chief Medical Director, Dr. Josephat Akabuike explained that “this morning, I received a call from a staff of ABS, who alerted me of the situation on ground and I immediately detailed his nurses to the scene.”
Dr. Akabuike added that she is presently in their custody but wondered how long she will stay in the hospital since no one knows her identity.
The lady in question who gave her name as Hope Eze claimed she hails from Cote d’Ivoire while her mother is from Imo state.
She claimed not to be aware that she was pregnant until she started having contractions.
According to her, she was lured by a girl who promised to take her abroad, but she later discovered the said lady is a prostitute and by that time, she had no money on her.
