Jobless Husband Flees As Wife Gives Birth To Triplets In Enugu

The joy of Mrs. Ifeoma Odo of Ebo Umuabor in
Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State, could
turn to tears after her husband absconded on
hearing that she was in labour for triplets.
Odo told the
News Agency
of Nigeria in Nsukka on Friday that her husband,
Mr. John-Patrick Odo, disappeared when he realised
she would give birth to triplets.
"It's been seven days since I put to bed, yet I have
not seen my husband. Several attempts to reach
him through his telephone have failed as he
switched off his mobile phone.
"I know he has no job but that should not be the
reason for him to abandon me and the babies," she
said of her husband of three years.
Odo appealed to the government and good spirited
individuals to come to the aid of the triplets, saying
they required a lot of care to survive having been
born pre-term.
"I will be very grateful to all who offer financial help
to me and my babies at this difficult moment," she
said.
