Alake Latoyosi, a 54-year-old woman, recently gave birth to eleven (11) babies in Cotonou, Benin Republic. The births occurred in two separate batches: the first set of six babies was delivered on August 7, followed by a second set of five babies on August 14.
Her husband, 56-year-old Yahaya Nafiu, is now seeking assistance to support the care of his wife and their newborns. He has appealed to kind-hearted individuals for financial help to provide for the babies and their mother.
Nafiu, who serves as the Missioner for the Ilorin Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU) in Port Novo, Ajasse, and Cotonou, explained that a birth attendant assisted with the deliveries on both occasions.
According to Nafiu, after the first delivery, his wife reported feeling unusual movements in her abdomen. A subsequent hospital scan revealed that she was still carrying more children. This led them to call upon the same birth attendant, who successfully delivered the next set of five babies.
Nafiu shared that the pregnancy had lasted over three years, during which the hospital was unable to determine its nature, preventing doctors from performing a Caesarean section. He attributed the ordeal to an evil spiritual influence affecting the doctors.
He also mentioned that he and his wife already had several children from their previous marriages before the arrival of these eleven babies.
