Lagos housewife mysteriously dies after giving birth to twins

A 35 year old housewife reportedly died mysteriously a few days after she gave birth to a set of twins on Aya - Oye Street, Ejiigbo,  a suburb city in Lagos.

It was alleged that after she got pregnant, her married lover, identified simply as Fatai, took her to the home of a single mother names withheld in Ejigbo, to cover up the shame.

It was learnt that Joy already had three children from her estranged husband who resides somewhere in Surulere Lagos before she became pregnant for Fatai who resides at Abaranje area of Ikotun.

A neighbour,  Iya Kubirat report: 

I can’t say what was responsible for her death because the incident occurred a few days after she was delivered of the babies in a hospital and was brought back to the woman’s flat.  

She was found dead, foaming up  in her mouth on top of a bed in one of the rooms in that flat.

When the woman who harboured her in the flat heard the babies was crying, she went to Joy’s room to find out what was happening only to discover that Joy was dead.

She raised an alarm which attracted neighbours in the building. I was among set of  people who rushed to the flat. The cause of Joy’s death could not be immediately ascertained as there was no report of autopsy from any doctor.

However, the woman who harboured this lady called Joy, contacted her husband and family members to come get her corpse but they rejected her corpse. 

She then contacted Fatai who showed up  and also Fatai refused to take responsibility for her burial.

It was gathered that Fatai rebveal that he did not marry her as hence would not accept the corpse for burial, despite being the father of the twin baby.

The deceased’s corpse was later deposited at General Hospital mortuary in Isolo after Joy’s elder sister arrived.

Meanwhile, the twins were handed over to Fatai who took them to his house at Abaranje of Alimosho Local Goverment.
