LAGOS—Controversy is currently trailing the
death of a housewife, Joy Bakare, 35, after she
gave birth on Aya-Oye Street, Ejiigbo, a suburb
of Lagos.
The housewife reportedly died mysteriously a
few days after she was delivered of a set of
twins.
It was alleged that after she got pregnant, her
married lover, identified simply as Fatai, took
her to the home of a single mother (names
withheld) in Aya-Oye Street, Ejigbo, to cover up
the shame.
Vanguard learned that Joy already had three
children from her estranged husband who
resides in Surulere area before she became
pregnant for Fatai who resides at Abaranje in
Ikotun area.
It was gathered that a few days after she was
delivered of the babies in a hospital and was
brought back to the woman’s flat, she was
found dead after foaming from her mouth on a
bed in one of the rooms in the flat.
A neighbour, Iya Kubirat, who spoke to
Vanguard, said: “I can’t say what was
responsible for her death because the incident
occurred a few days after she was delivered of
the babies in a hospital and was brought back
to the woman’s flat. She was found dead,
foaming in her mouth on top of a bed in one of
the rooms in the flat.
“When the woman who harboured her in the flat
heard the babies crying, she went to Joy’s room
to find out what was happening only to
discover that Joy was dead. She raised an
alarm which attracted neighbours. I was among
the people who rushed to the flat. The cause of
Joy’s death could not be immediately
ascertained as there was no report of autopsy
from any doctor.”
However, trouble started after the woman who
harboured Joy contacted her husband and
family members and they rejected her corpse.
She then contacted Fatai who later went to the
place and also refused to take responsibility for
her burial.
It was gathered that Fatai explained that he did
not marry her as his wife and as such, would
not accept the corpse for burial, even though he
was the father of the twins.
The deceased’s corpse was later deposited at
Isolo General Hospital mortuary after Joy’s
elder sister arrived.
Meanwhile, the twin babies were handed over
to Fatai who took them to his house at Ikotun.
