According to the woman, her husband, Nwosu, who seemed happy at first when she revealed that they were expecting twin babies, later told her to abort the pregnancy.

The woman lamented about her experience due to her husband's disappearance.

A woman named Johnson Gloria, who lives in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, has reported how her husband, Martin Nwosu, allegedly abandoned her after she delivered a set of twins.

According to her, Nwosu left their residence over his inability to handle the financial responsibility of caring for the new babies.

The couple already had a son together before the incident happened, the Daily Post reports.

Gloria disclosed the circumstances that led to the disappearance of her husband in an interview with Nigeria Tribune.

She said, “When I became pregnant, I told him, he was happy but a month after that, he changed.

“He used to give me N1,000, but he cut it down to N500, and I have a son for him already. Anytime I complained to him that the money was small, he would tell me that there was no work."

“In the long run, he stopped coming back to the house after work, and whenever I asked him why he didn’t come back to the house, he would tell me that he had no transport money."

“We are owing the landlord, my husband said I should bring money, I told him that I didn’t have money because I fried akara and yam, he would become angry and said that I would get tired of the house, then he packed all his property and left the house."

The aggrieved woman also narrated that all the efforts made by close friends and relatives in locating her husband proved abortive.

Nwosu had declined to return home to take her to the hospital, despite several appeals.

“When I was in labour, friends and neighbours of my husband tried getting across to him by phone to come and take me to the hospital, but he refused to come, until one of the neighbours took me to Asokoro General Hospital, Abuja."

“The hospital refused to take me in because I didn’t register with them. I was taken to another private hospital where I was also rejected. I delivered my babies at another hospital in Abuja that accepted me because I was in serious pains,” Gloria, who hails from Abak Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State added."

“Throughout that period, I was calling my husband’s number but he switched off his phone. I delivered the twins by Cesarean Session (CS) and I lost a lot blood. I can’t feed them and I can’t pay the N150, 000 hospital bill”, she said.
