These where the words of a housewife, Zainab Sirajo, who was divorced by her husband after she gave birth to a set of triplets.
Narrating her ordeal, Zainab said she was issued a divorce letter by her husband, Kabiru Yusuf, only two days after she delivered the triplets, alleging that she was beaten by her husband for giving the birth to so much babies before divorcing her.
The woman, who had earlier had three children with her former husband, said she is the only wife of her new husband, Yusuf, and that the triplets are her first delivery for him. She left her former husband do to irreconcilable differences.
On how she feels about the triplets, she said “the only thing I will say is that God should bless them for me. I am not planning to re-marry for now and even if I will, I will like to first of all take proper care of my children and give them good training with a sound education. Presently, I don’t have anything doing but if I get a job, I will do it just for the sake of my children”.
She however declined giving out her husband’s phone number and address but she only disclosed that he works at Panteka in Kaduna.
Speaking on the woman's plight, the matron in charge of paediatrics in Yusuf Dantsoho Memorial Hospital Kaduna, Mrs Ajiyana Ramatu, said “After her delivery that time, I had to go round my colleagues for material and financial assistance that could be given to her; some gave a little cash while others brought some wears. So two days later when she was discharged from the hospital she was divorced for giving birth to triplets.”
Mrs Ramatu said the hospital is planning to take Zainab's case to the state Social Welfare Department as the hospital could not continue to keep the mother and her babies.
