A woman, Mrs. Mutiat Aileru has delivered a baby girl in a tricycle in Abule-Egba area of Lagos.
The
woman delivered the baby at about 5p.m. The reporter was walking by the
roadside near Awori bus stop when a woman suddenly ran out of the
commercial tricycle, Keke Marwa and raised the alarm that her relative
was delivering a baby inside the tricycle they had boarded.
She
had called for urgent help from the owners of the shops by the road and
women promptly removed the wrappers on them to shield the woman in
labour. The women rushed to pick her up, some cleaning her, others
cuddling and others yet bringing accessories to assist in the delivery.
Prophet
Ariyo Ajibola of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Erimo in
Ijaiye-Ojokoro, who drove the tricycle, said: “It was at Ikeja computer
village that the two women that followed the mother approached me to beg
me to assist them to carry a pregnant woman to a hospital in Abule
Egba.
At
first I was reluctant but when they began to plead, I obliged. Moreso,
as a prophet, I had an inner conviction that there won’t be any problem.
And I took them in. But when we got past Agege, the pregnant woman
began to moan in seriuos labour. She became hysterical and her people
began to panic. But I was relaxed and praying silently for God’s
intervention, I was calming the women down. At a point, I took one-way
to beat the gridlock on the road.
Then
suddenly I heard a loud noise of a rushing liquid, when we just left
Abule-Egba bus stop and the other women began to raise the alarm that a
baby had just been delivered. And they began calling for help. As a man
and a Christian, I just thank God for what has happened. It is just a
miracle and I will give a special thanksgiving to God once I get to the
church for an evening programme we have today. I asked them to pay N1000
but they offered N700 and I accepted but even if they don’t pay me, I
won’t be unhappy.”
