A woman, Mrs. Mutiat Aileru has
delivered a baby girl in a tricycle in Abule-Egba area of Lagos.
The woman delivered the baby at about
5p.m. The reporter was walking by the roadside near Awori bus stop when a woman
suddenly ran out of the commercial tricycle, Keke Marwa and raised the alarm
that her relative was delivering a baby inside the tricycle they had
boarded.
She had called for urgent help from
the owners of the shops by the road and women promptly removed the wrappers on
them to shield the woman in labour. The women rushed to pick her up, some
cleaning her, others cuddling and others yet bringing accessories to assist in
the delivery.
Prophet Ariyo Ajibola of the Cherubim
and Seraphim Church, Erimo in Ijaiye-Ojokoro, who drove the tricycle, said: “It
was at Ikeja computer village that the two women that followed the mother
approached me to beg me to assist them to carry a pregnant woman to a hospital
in Abule Egba.
At first I was reluctant but when they
began to plead, I obliged. Moreso, as a prophet, I had an inner conviction that
there won’t be any problem. And I took them in. But when we got past Agege, the
pregnant woman began to moan in seriuos labour. She became hysterical and her
people began to panic. But I was relaxed and praying silently for God’s
intervention, I was calming the women down. At a point, I took one-way to beat
the gridlock on the road.
Then suddenly I heard a loud noise of a
rushing liquid, when we just left Abule-Egba bus stop and the other women began
to raise the alarm that a baby had just been delivered. And they began calling
for help. As a man and a Christian, I just thank God for what has happened. It
is just a miracle and I will give a special thanksgiving to God once I get to
the church for an evening programme we have today. I asked them to pay N1000 but
they offered N700 and I accepted but even if they don’t pay me, I won’t be
unhappy.”
