Delta hospital seizes baby over unpaid bill
Out of the N433,500 she was billed at the private clinic, the woman's family raised N50,000, leaving a balance of N383,500.
Mrs Akpesiri has cried out to the general public and the Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa for help as the clinic has refused to release the baby until the outstanding bill is paid.
She said:
“The bill is N433,500 before my sister brought N50,000. We have paid the N50,000 my sister brought, then we will pay the balance of N383,500 for my baby to be released.
“My baby is about a month and some weeks while I have not set my eyes on the female baby for a month now, don’t even allow me to see her. Please I’m begging governor Ifeanyi Okowa and others to help me."
Mrs Akpesiri's husband who initially ran away when he heard the large bill has also reappeared and is as well crying for help.
