A Unique Health Medical Center, Warri, in Delta state has allegedly seized a newborn for non-payment of a N383,500 hospital bill for over one month. PUNCH Metro gathered that the mother of the twins, Mrs Akpesiri Ojiko delivered the two babies on November 17, 2022, at the general hospital Warri. It was learnt that one of the babies was taken to a private Hospital on referral by the general hospital as a result of a lack of bed space. Narrating her ordeal, Mrs Ojiko appealed to the Delta State government and well-meaning individuals to assist in upsetting the medical bill to enable her to have access to her baby. “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.
