Nigerian Police Commissioner Orders Release Of Twin Babies, Teenage Mother Held By Imo Hospital Over Unpaid Bills
The twins’ mother, 19-year-old Precious Okere, was left in a difficult situation following a cesarean section, with the family unable to cover the delivery costs.
The Commissioner of Police in Imo State, Aboki Danjuma, on Thursday directed the immediate release of twin boys, Chidindu and Chijindu, who were held in a maternity hospital since May 4.
It was gathered that the incident occurred at Goodwill Maternity in Obinze, Owerri West Local Government Area of the state.
The twins’ mother, 19-year-old Precious Okere, was left in a difficult situation following a cesarean section, with the family unable to cover the delivery costs.
According to reports, Nwamadi allegedly made a joking request for the twins, prompting the police chief to express concern over his lack of empathy.
During a meeting at the command headquarters in Owerri, Danjuma emphasized the seriousness of the situation, scolding Nwamadi for his insensitivity despite offers from compassionate individuals willing to pay the outstanding medical fees.
The twins’ grandmother, Mrs. Ngozi Okere, had petitioned the CP, alleged that the doctor had pressured her and her daughter to hand over the twins as a condition for settling the medical bill.
The mother corroborated these claims during the meeting with the police commissioner.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, some compassionate Nigerians led by an activist journalist, Chidiebube Okeoma, went to the maternity to secure the release of the twins and their mother but the doctor hiked the bill.
Ekwutosblog gathered that all entreaties made by the good Nigerians for him to accept the initial bill he gave fell on deaf ears.
However, the nurses confronted the 19-year-old mother of the twins and her own mother.
During the altercation, the children’s grandmother lost her phone, sustained injuries, and the young mother was also assaulted.
Okeoma had led a campaign advocating for the release of the twins, who had remained at the maternity home for nearly six months.
The advocacy gained support from some individuals who made financial contributions.
At the time of this report, the doctor was seen at the Scorpion Squad Unit of the police command giving a statement.
