Ms Latoyosi bore eight boys and three girls but two of the girls died during delivery.
According to her 56-year-old husband, Yahaya Nafiu, the pregnancy of the children lasted over a period of three years before delivery.
Narrating the events of the delivery, Mr Nafiu expressed his appreciation to God as the children were delivered on two different occasions by birth attendants.
Nafiu stated that medical doctors were unable to carry out successful operations on his wife due to their inability to ascertain her pregnancy position.
Voice of Nigeria stated that the first set of deliveries took place on July 7, 2024 while the second batch of the children was delivered on August 14, 2024.
“A few days after the delivery of the first set of children, the mother said she observed strange movement in her stomach, and on getting to the hospital after a scan was carried out, the doctor revealed that she was carrying another set of children which led them to contact the initial birth attendant where the next set of five babies were delivered.”
Mr Nafiu used the opportunity to appeal to Nigerians to come to the aid of the children and mother as he struggles to meet their daily needs.
“One other major challenge that we are now facing before we could bring the children home to Ilorin to show them to my parents, is how to raise money for the marriage rites, as well as medical bill and police reports.”
