“Joy wan finish the wife”: Nigerian couple welcomes triplets after expecting twins

It is gathered that the new mother waited for 12 years before finally delivering this bundle of joy at Coastal Specialist Clinic, in Bendel Estate, Warri, Delta state.

The letter partially reads:

“They urgently need the sum of N4,000,050 as they have been able to pay N1,598,000 of the actual N5,598,050 needed to foot the bills.

“The clear picture is that the quadruplets were put in an incubator, and the service costs N20,000.00 per child for a day, making it N80,000.00 for the four of them.

“They were put in the incubator on October 21, 2023, and they had been there until some days ago, when three were brought out, leaving the fourth one there.
