The Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr Donald Ojogo, on Thursday, paid the N110,000 medical bill incurred by one Abiodun Omole, whose wife, Folashade, was delivered of a set of triplets at the Federal Medical Centre, Owo.

This followed an appeal for help on social media as a result of the alleged detention of the mother and the newborn babies by the hospital management over the unpaid bill.

Our correspondent learnt that Folashade was delivered of the babies through caesarean section on May 27, 2019.

However, she was allegedly not allowed to go home with her babies by the FMC management due to the none settlement of the bill.

The situation made Abiodun, a bricklayer, to cry out for help.

The appeal for donation on social media read, “They have been discharged but have remained at the Neonatal Ward of the hospital, because they have yet to settle the outstanding bill of N110,000.

“We appeal to the public to please put smiles on the faces of this couple by helping out with the said sum or in any other way they wish to be a blessing to this family beyond the settlement of the hospital bill as the babies will still require care after being discharged from the hospital.

“All donations should be paid into the account of the triplets’ mother.”
