Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian woman who was pregnant said she was supposed to visit the hospital for an antenatal check-up but opted to go to the restaurant instead.

She collected money for antenatal but was spotted having a good time and playing like a kid at a fun spot.

The woman made it clear that her husband would think she was in the hospital, but she was eating fried chicken somewhere in town.
