A mother of triplets who was detained at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, over her inability to pay medical bill last week regained her freedom following a financial assistance she received from the Transition Committee Chairman nominee of Arochukwu LGA, Chief Onny Igbokwe.
Igbokwe had on the occasion at the hospital, offset the medical bill which amounted to over N100, 000. Speaking, Igbokwe said he came to give a helping hand to the triplets following an appeal for assistance by the mother of the triplets, Mrs. Happiness Chiedozie.
Igbokwe expressed happiness in identifying with the triplets, describing them as “God’s special gift” and stressed the need for the well-to-do in the society to assist the needy.
Also, the Chief Matron of Nkasiobi Ward of the hospital, Mrs. Margaret Orji, commended Igbokwe for the gesture and appealed to other people to emulate him.
In her response, Mrs. Chiedozie expressed her gratitude to Igbokwe for the assistance and prayed God to reward him.
