In a related development, Zainab Salisu, a 33-year-old internally displaced person (IDP) in Maradun camp, Zamfara, gave birth to a set of quadruplets: two males and two females.
A statment sent to NAIJ.com by Zayyanu Mukhtar Jibril explained that Mrs Salisu, who hails from Gidan Dan-Guntu village in Maradun district, was delivered of the babies on Sunday, August 19, without complications.
The father of the quadruplets, Malam Salisu Muhammad, told journalists before the delivery, that his wife attended antenatal care only once at the Maradun General Hospital.
He said: “Even then, her condition seemed normal but she could not get back to the hospital due to fear of attacks by bandits; and so we managed her at home since this was not her first pregnancy.
“We, however, noticed that this particular pregnancy was too big but since she has had seven deliveries including a set of twins, we paid less attention.”
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had previously reported the serious flooding in about six local government areas in Delta state left not less than four persons including a blind man and an 11-year-old boy drowned.
The areas in the state mostly affected by the flood are Ndokwa east, Oshimili south, Burutu, Ughelli south, Patani and Bomadi, all of which are located along the bank of the River Niger.
The Punch on Wednesday, September 19, reported that the middle-aged visually-impaired man was said to be fleeing his home ravaged by flood when the tragedy struck.
The deceased who lived around Powerline, a suburb of Asaba, allegedly drowned when the boat he was travelling in capsized.
