As reported by Leadership, he testified to God’s miracle in the way the children were delivered on two different occasions by birth attendants.

According to Nafiu, medical doctors were not able to carry out successful operations on his wife as they could not ascertain her pregnancy position.

It was gathered that the first set of deliveries took place on 7th July 2024 while the second batch of the children was delivered on 14th of August 2024,

He attributed it to spiritual influence on the medical doctors.

“A few days after the delivery of the first set of children, the mother said she observed strange movement in her stomach, and on getting to the hospital after a scan was carried out, the doctor revealed that she was carrying another set of children which led them to contact the initial birth attendant where the next set of five babies were delivered”

Latoyossi, a native of Ajasse-Cotonou, gave birth to the 11 babies in a traditional birth attendant’s home between July 7 and August 14, 2024,

During an interview with The Punch, the husband said:

"One out of the first six died while one of the last five children also died but I’m grateful to Allah that the rest nine children and their mother are alive.”

He, however, cried out to Nigerians to assist him with money to enable him to cater for the babies and their mother.

“One other major challenge that we are now facing before we could bring the children home to Ilorin to show them to my own parents, is how to raise money for the marriage rites, as well as medical bill and police report”
