babies are still under medical watch and caring for them afterwards remains
herculean for the policeman and wife.
He said, “It’s a big thing of joy, no doubt. But I am just a policeman
making ends meet for family.
“The burden of caring for these children is enormous but it’s nothing compared
to the shame, pressure and pains we have had to endure these pass seven years
of childlessness.
“We thank God for answering our prayers. “I can’t help but shout out to
well meaning individuals and groups to come to our aid. We can’t do it on our own.
“Thankfully, out of sheer compassion, the hospital has frozen our bill at
N1.5million since we arrived through the delivery.”
