A Nigerian man who works as an apprentice tyre dealer, Cissé Abdullahi, has said he attempted to flee Nigeria shortly after his wife delivered quadruplets, Oyogist reports.
Mr Abdullahi also solicited the support of Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos and other philanthropists for the care of the babies.
Abdullahi, 37, a native of Ilorin, who lives at Kumapaji Phase 3, Baale Bus Stop, Oko-Afo in Olorunda LCDA, told the News Agency of Nigeria that only N3,500 was in his possession when he heard that his wife had delivered quadruplets.
“I was coming from Apapa where I am learning how to sell tyres when I heard the news of my wife’s delivery of the babies at the Badagry General Hospital.
“It is a good thing, but I never expected quadruplets because the last scan indicated that it would be twins, he said further.
“When I got home, I decided to escape to Benin Republic because I don’t have money to take care of the quadruplets, he said.
