Malama Delu Alhaji-Ali, a 46-year-old housewife
of Unguwar Namanda village, Faskari Local
Government Area of Katsina State, on Saturday
gave birth to a set of triplets in her 12th
consecutive childbirths .
News Agency of Nigeria correspondent who visited
the area, reports that the woman was delivered of
the triplets at the Comprehensive Health Care
Centre in Faskari.
Hajia Binta Suleiman, the nursing officer in
charge of the health centre’s maternity ward,
told NAN on Sunday that both the mother and
her three baby boys were in stable condition.
Suleiman said Delu was delivered of the babies
unassisted. She said the mother had been on
admission in the hospital in the last four days when
officials noticed that her expected date of delivery
was fast approaching.
“Delu attended regular ante-natal clinics, and
she was advised to go for an ultra-scan where we
noticed that she was expecting triplets,”
Suleiman said.
Suleiman said the set of triplets were the first
recorded in the hospital this year and urged Delu’s
husband and relations as well as the local
government authorities to assist her by ensuring
that she had access to nutritious foods.
Meanwhile, the wife of local government
caretaker committee chairman, Mrs. Sa’adatu
Faskari-Ahmad, has donated some clothes and
money to the mother and her babies.
Faskari-Ahmad congratulated Delu, stressing that
the triplets were a rare and extraordinary blessing
from Allah.
In her response, Delu expressed appreciation
for the gifts and the support she received from
the hospital workers.
She told NAN that the triplets came in her 12th
childbirth, while all her previous 11 births were
single babies.
Delu, however, recalled that before giving birth to
the triplets, she experienced some abnormalities
during the initial stage of the pregnancy.
She said that although the responsibility of
taking care of the babies would be quite
challenging for her, she would overcome the
challenges with God’s support. (NAN)
