Man abandons his wife and triplets runs a way after she gave birth to triplets [SEE HERE]
A
44-year-old man named Paul Edobor, has allegedly abandoned his wife after she
was delivered of triplets in the Esan North-East Local Government Area of Edo
State.
It was
learnt that Paul, a commercial motorcycle operator, fled his home in Uromi when
his wife, Ugomma, had the three identical baby girls.
He was also
said to have ignored phone calls from his wife, whom he married 12 years ago.
Ugomma told the
Media on Tuesday that her husband had lamented his inability to cater to the
triplets as he struggled to take care of the two children she already had for
him.
She said,
“My husband ran away because he could not take care of the babies. I had my
antenatal care in a hospital. But I put to bed at home.
“He left me
when I was in labour. After I had the babies, I called his telephone, but he
refused to pick the calls.”
The nursing
mother, who hails from Abia State, lamented that her husband’s absence had left
her and the children stranded.
She noted
that she had been living on alms from kind Nigerians.
She appealed
to her husband to return home, saying he had been forgiven.
Ugomma said,
“People have been the ones helping me to buy baby things. I have been going to
markets and churches with the babies to beg for alms.
“Wherever I
go, people thank God for giving me these babies. I want my husband to come back
to me. I have forgiven him. We were married in the traditional way; there is no
going back.”
She appealed
to the state government to also come to her aid.
“I want the
government and good-spirited individuals to come to my aid to enable me to take
care of my babies,” she added.
