imageMr John-Patrick Odo of Umabor, Eha-Alumona, in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State and his wife Ifeoma have been very patiently waiting and praying for the gift of children.
Ever since they got married three years ago, the cry of a baby has not been heard in their house. So they kept hoping and praying.
At last, God heard their prayers, and in a very special way too. Some months into the pregnancy, the couple went for medical scan and discovered that God was about to bless them with three babies at once.
DailyPost gathered from the family that as soon as the result of the scan came out, Patrick sneaked out of the house and has not returned till date.
With the latest development, Ifeoma’s joy of giving birth to triplets is soon giving way to despair and helplessness.
Speaking to our correspondent on Friday, she disclosed that her husband disappeared immediately medical scan showed that she would give birth to triplets.
“Even since seven days I was delivered of these babies, I have not seen him. Several attempts made by other members of the family to reach him through his phone failed as he has switched off his mobile phone.
“I know he is jobless but that should not be the reason for him to abandon me and the babies”, she lamented.
She appealed to government and good spirited individuals to come to the rescue of the triplets, adding that as babies born by seven months, they needed much care to survive.
“I will be very grateful to all who would offer financial help to me and my babies at this difficult moment. It is not my husband younger brother Andrew Odo us since this one week,” she said.
Ifeoma, however, expressed gratitude to God for making her deliver the babies through a normal process.
Also speaking, Patrick’s younger brother, Mr. Andrew Odo told DailyPost that “my elder brother disappeared after he was told that the wife would possibly deliver triplets.
Meanwhile, Ifeoma said help could be rendered to the family through her husband’s brother’s account number: FIRST BANK: ODO AUGUSTINE, 3014669841 or through mobile number 08039592801.
