Sacked Banker's wife gives birth to triplets

The wife of a sacked 40-year-old bank
worker, Mr. Luke Anyaechie, on Thursday,
was delivered of a set of female triplets
via caesarean section at a private hospital
in Sabon Gari, Kano.
In an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH
shortly after the delivery, Anyaechie, an
indigene of Umuozu, Imo State, was
overwhelmed with joy, despite the job loss.
He added that all three babies were in
good health.
The triplets’ father said, “I believe that the
Almighty, who is aware of the birth of the
innocent babies, would provide them with
their daily bread from his bounties, despite
losing my bank job due to the current
economic predicament.”
Anyachie, who was recently laid off as a
staff member of Ecobank in Kano, noted
that he had been apprehensive about what
the future would hold.
“But as a pious Christian, I finally pitched
my hope in God, who will neither
disappoint nor frustrate me,” he said.
The Medical Director of Green Land Clinics
and Maternity, Dr. Frank Akabudu, who
delivered the baby, noted that it was the
first set of triplets delivered in the seven-
year history of the hospital.
Akabudu, who is also a consultant
obstetrician/gynaecologist, said the
weights of each of the triplets were 2.1 kg,
2.3 kg and 2.0 kg, respectively.
“They were delivered with two minutes
intervals via caesarean section, which
lasted for about one hour,” he added.
