It was more of a shock when news broke out that a certain Mrs. Mutiat Aileru has been delivered of a baby girl right inside a commercial tricycle popularly known as Keke NAPEP in Abule-Egba area of Lagos.
According to Kanyinulia, the woman delivered the baby at about 5.00pm near Awori bus stop. Eyewitnesses said that a woman suddenly ran out of the
commercial tricycle and raised the alarm that her relative
was in having a labour pain inside the tricycle they had boarded.
She had called for urgent help from the owners of the shops by the road
and women promptly removed the wrappers on them to shield the woman in
labour. The women rushed to pick her up, some cleaning her, others
cuddling and others yet bringing accessories to assist in the delivery.
Prophet Ariyo Ajibola of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Erimo in
Ijaiye-Ojokoro, who drove the tricycle, said: “It was at Ikeja computer
village that the two women who followed the mother approached me to beg
me to assist them to carry a pregnant woman to a hospital in Abule
Egba.
At first I was reluctant but when they began to plead, I obliged.
Moreso, as a prophet, I had an inner conviction that there won’t be any
problem. And I took them in. But when we got past Agege, the pregnant
woman began to moan in seriuos labour. She became hysterical and her
people began to panic. But I was relaxed and praying silently for God’s
intervention, I was calming the women down. At a point, I took one-way
to beat the gridlock on the road.
Then suddenly I heard a loud noise of a rushing liquid, when we just
left Abule-Egba bus stop and the other women began to raise the alarm
that a baby had just been delivered. And they began calling for help. As
a man and a Christian, I just thank God for what has happened. It is
just a miracle and I will give a special thanksgiving to God once I get
to the church for an evening programme we have today. I asked them to
pay N1000 but they offered N700 and I accepted but even if they don’t
pay me, I won’t be unhappy.”
