Nigeria - Residents of a Lagos community have been perplexed by a shocking incident - three generations of a family died during the delivery of a baby.
According to PUNCH, Dr. Bosun Owolabi, was contacted when 34-year-old Edith Ororobi, went into labour to give birth to her first child ever and allegedly raced to the house at Bogije Town in Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos in the dead of the night.
But by the time he was done with the delivery, Edith; her 61-year-old mother, Elizabeth Ororobi, who witnessed the procedure, and the newborn baby, were all dead.
Owolabi instantly fled the scene only to contact the dead pregnant woman's younger brother on the phone and explained how the grandmother, mother and newborn baby died.
Elizabeth’s younger brother, Jite Tubman in a statement to the Police explained that at about 3.14am on May 7, he received a call from a doctor, whom he later learnt was Dr. Owolabi.
“The doctor said my elder sister died of shock after realising that her daughter, Edith, had died during delivery.
“The father of the dead newborn baby, has travelled out of the country. I later reported the case to the police, who took an ambulance and followed us to the house.”
The bodies of mother, child and grandmother were deposited at the Lagos Island General Hospital.
