A Pregnant woman simply identified as Blessing has died after falling into a pit twice in one week.

Until her death, Blessing  who was 23 years old and eight months pregnant fell into the pit first on 6pm on Monday, July 25, 2016.

According to her husband, Buchi Eze; “I am confused; I don’t understand how my woman fell inside the pits twice in one week,” he said with a look that seemed to be seeking for answers in the air.

“Her death was painful and I don’t think it was natural. The pits have been there for a long time and she met them here when she moved in with me in January, so how did she fall inside the pits twice in six days? She was not mentally unstable and did not show any suicidal tendencies.

“All the children in the compound pass there always and none of them has fallen inside before, so I am still confused. After she fell inside one of the pits the first time, I dismissed it as a mistake, but after the second one, I concluded that it was not natural.”

Narrating her second fall to Punch, Eze said; “On Saturday morning, I boiled some water for her and after she bathed, she said she wanted to eat and I gave her food. It was Lusada market day. So I left to buy her some fruits so that she could use that to replenish till when the money I was expecting would come.

“Then, I had an ominous feeling again. I said what kind of sign is this? So I started going home. By the time I approached the house, I heard people shouting. When I got home, I saw my woman lying down in the pit again.”

Blessing was taken to the hospital again but before midnight, she and her baby were confirmed dead.

“The doctor said he would remove the baby to try to save her and I said no problem, let my woman just be okay,” Eze continued.

“After the doctor removed the baby, we saw that he was dead. I think the problem was serious because she hit her tummy on ground when she fell. Then my woman went into a coma and started vomiting blood from her mouth and nose. Everyone was shouting, even the doctor said he had never seen anything like it.

“He tried and tried to save her but couldn’t. We called her name, she didn’t answer but her eyes remained open. She was not talking but blood was coming out of her mouth. I was calling her people to tell them what was happening. By 11.30, the generator went out and by the time they put it back on, she took her last breath. I touched her, but she did not move again, she did not talk to me. I was just confused. I looked at the baby; I looked at her. Both of them were dead.”

The couple shared a rented room in an uncompleted building on Akinola street in Lusada community, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, until the incident.
