Two babies died out of quadruplets, father requests prayers

One of the three babies left among the quadruplets born to Mr. Samuel and Joy Chukwukaelo, died on Monday.

This makes it two babies that have died among the quadruplets. One had earlier died on Sunday.

The quadruplets were born at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital last Thursday.

Their father said the family received financial assistance from the wife of Kwara State governor, Mrs. Omolewa Ahmed, who visited the hospital on Wednesday.

Also, he said the Senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and an unnamed individual had donated money to the family, adding that the money received from the three donors was N90, 000.

While thanking the donors, he called for prayers and more financial assistance from Nigerians.

Chukwukaelo said, “My wife is okay. Help has been trickling in from individuals and the wife of the governor.

“Three individuals have called me. I have received N20,000 from one of them. Also, a delegation from Saraki visited and donated N20,000. I have received a total of N90,000 from the three donors. I am still calling on Nigerians, government, companies and organisations to please assist us financially so that the babies can survive.
