A Good Samaritan has settled the bill of a 21-year-old woman, Blessing
Agbo, and her newborn baby boy, who were detained in a Lagos hospital
for four months over a medical bill.Punch Metro learnt that the man, who wanted to be anonymous, also gave Agbo N50,000 for baby food and clothes.
This is just as the management of the hospital, God Cures Hospital,
appealed to Nigerians to stop calling at the facility to pay for the
bill.
It was reported that Agbo went into labour sometime in June while her
live-in lover, Chibugo Duru, a truck driver, travelled to Calabar, Cross
River State, on a business trip.
A top official of God Cures Hospital, who asked not to be named, said the man paid into the hospital’s account.
He said, “The man called through his aide. I was told he is a politician
based in Abuja. We also had to give him some discounts. After paying
the bill, he gave the woman and her baby the sum of N50,000. He said he
wanted to be anonymous.
But since then, we have had some other people coming to the hospital and
offering to settle the bill. I think it is important you help us tell
people to stop offering to pay the bill. I have personally received up
to three calls on this case already.”
Agbo, who also confirmed the development to our correspondent during a
telephone call on Sunday, thanked The Punch for helping her family out
of the situation.
She said she had returned home with the baby.
Her lover, Duru, said, “She was discharged on Friday morning. We are in
the house together now; both mother and child are fine. Thank you for
the assistance.”
