The sister of the deceased, Ngozi Agbor, had disclosed that the hospital bill was over Six Hundred Thousand Naira and there was nowhere to raise the amount. “We were at the hospital for over 14-days after the kids were delivered with no money to pay the bills. The father of the kids absconded, and his phone numbers were switched off and there is no way to contact him. The kids have been surviving by the grace of God and with assistance from good-spirited individuals”. In tears she continued, “My sister Ruth, was based in Benin with her husband, she only came to stay with me here in Agbor, so that I can be of help to her after delivery. She delivered through a Cesarean operation. When she came out of the theatre, she was fine, but all of a sudden, she started bleeding and was taken to the theatre again for another operation. This time around, when she came out, she did not say a word and then she died”. It was however gathered that the management of the clinic later allowed the woman and the infants to go, after paying the little she can afford which was not anything close to the bill of over six hundred thousand naira.
