A woman has given birth to baby girl inside a commercial bus at Sabo
area
of Ikorodu, a suburb of Lagos, on Tuesday, sparking jubilation in
the area.
According to Vanguard, the woman, who boarded the bus on Tuesday
afternoon at Ijede, could not alight at the Sabo Bus Stop, as other
passengers did, making the bus driver and his conductor suspicious.
An eyewitness said in the usual manner in Lagos, the conductor
started yelling at the woman to get down from the bus, but she could not
utter a word as she had fallen into labour.
It was said that the conductor, seeing that the woman was in labour,
raised the alarm. But those around took to their heels, thinking a fight
had started between the conductor and miscreants.
The eyewitness added that when the shout for help persisted, some
officials of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, and other
sympathisers moved closer, only to discover that the woman was in
labour.
They rendered necessary assistance and the woman delivered a baby
girl few minutes after. Both the woman and her newborn were taken to the
Health Centre, Ita-Elewa for medical attention, while her personal
effects were kept in the custody of one of the sympathisers.
Fortunately for the woman, one of the good Samaritans was able to
identify her and a message was sent to her husband, who also rushed to
the scene.
LASTMA officials and other sympathizers, who visited the health
centre to catch a glimpse of the baby, were to said to have provided the
items used for the deliveries.
A volunteer Traffic Mayor, popularly called Baba Isale Eko, who was
also at the scene, said the delivery was easier compared with that of
some women
