A Nigerian couple residence in United States(US), Adeboye and Ajibola Taiwo, has delivered sextuplets after 17 years of marriage without an issue.

The children were delivered at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Centre.

According to the university, the babies weighed between 1 pound, 10 ounces and 2 pounds, 15 ounces.

All six are doing well and continue to thrive in the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU neonatal intensive care unit.

In November 2016, the couple were overcome with joy when they saw four heartbeats at their first ultrasound.

When they arrived VCU Medical Centre two months later, they discovered they were expecting sextuplets.

“I was excited. For the very first time we were expecting,” Adeboye said.
