A 28-year-old woman, Chidinma Amaechi, has given birth to quintuplets after about nine years of marriage in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
It was gathered that the quintuplets, consisting of three boys and two girls, were delivered through caesarian section on Thursday night.
The woman, who finished her National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) in July 2022, is married to an Onitsha-based petty trader, Tochukwu Amaechi.
Amaechi, however, called on the government and other citizens to assist her to offset the over N7.5 million hospital bill.
Speaking to journalists at the hospital, the woman’s elder sister, Ebele Oranekwu, said the bill for the incubators is N250,000 per day.
She added that the babies, who are currently in the intensive care unit of the hospital, are expected to be there.
