Firdausi Muhammad, a 25-year-old wife of a police officer in Jigawa State, safely delivered triplets—two girls and a boy—through a Cesarean section at Dutse General Hospital on Saturday afternoon.
The delivery, which took place at about 12:30 pm, was a success, and both the mother and her three newborns are reportedly in good health, receiving care from the hospital’s medical team.
Speaking with journalists, Firdausi shared her surprise at the outcome, revealing that she had initially been informed she was expecting twins during a prenatal scan.
“When I went for a scan, the result showed twins, but to my surprise, I delivered triplets,” she said.
Grateful for the safe delivery, Firdausi expressed her gratitude to God for the blessing.
However, she appealed for assistance to care for the babies, calling on the Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, and kind-hearted Nigerians to support her family.
“We need help to properly take care of them. I appeal to the governor and other individuals to come to our aid,” she pleaded.
The delivery has brought joy and amazement to the local community, with many expressing gratitude for the mother’s safe recovery and the health of the triplets.
