A 19-year-old, Lilian Benedict, has died after being delivered of a set of triplets in Yola South council of Adamawa State.

 

Mrs Josephine Geoffrey, Assistant Director, Nursing Services, Yola Specialist Hospital told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday that the teenager died on Sunday.

 

Geoffrey said she died as a result of post-partum haemorhrage.


“She died as a result of bleeding after delivery and all the three babies are in good health condition,” she said.

 

“We therefore, advise parents whose young daughters are pregnant to, as a matter of urgency, attend early antenatal to avoid unnecessary complications during child birth, “ Geoffrey said.

 

She called on government, NGOs and public-spirited individuals to assist the babies with food and drugs to ensure their survival.

A 19 year old girl should be in school. She was a victim of the society.

Now this is heart wrenching I have huge doubts if she had any idea she was carrying triplets before her delivery. An ultrasound scan could have probably averted the tragedy .

Oga

May her soul rest in peace!

can you imagine a typical Nigerian mentality?

A 19year old girl is matured enough either to be in school, go into apprenticeship/business or be married

Ok Mr Congolese mentality, read the story. She's 19 and already got married way before she became 19 and she didn't go to school and isn't into any apprenticeship.
I made my comment after reading the story. Maybe you should have done same before posting your Congolese mentality oga.

This story broke 3 days ago by Premium times. Also watch the interview on Channels TV given by the health worker in charge of her case. Her father died when she was 8 and she barely has any form of education. I followed the news diligently before i even saw it on NL. You can go read the details yourself.
