A pregnant woman identified as Msendoo Iorlumun has safely delivered a set of twin boys in a bush along the road to a health facility in the state.
The incident occurred on Friday as the expectant mother was trekking from Jotar to the Abaki Health Clinic in Mbangur. According to Mr Baba Igba Igba, who shared the account, she suddenly went into labour while still some distance from the clinic. Weakened by the journey, she could not continue and eventually gave birth near St. Pius Catholic Church, Abaki Mbangur, without immediate medical assistance.
Despite the difficult and unexpected circumstances, both the mother and her newborn twin boys are reported to be safe and healthy. The development has drawn relief and gratitude from members of the community, who have since congratulated the mother and described the incident as both challenging and miraculous.
“We thank God for her safety and the safe delivery of the twins,” the eyewitness said.
The case has once again highlighted concerns over access to healthcare facilities in rural parts of Benue State, where residents often have to travel long distances to seek medical attention.
