Passengers on a Bus Rapid Transit going to the CMS area of
Lagos on Wednesday were forced to become emergency midwives and labour attendants
when a pregnant woman was delivered of a bouncing baby boy inside the bus.
According to reports, the woman identified simply as
Afolaranmi, was going to a private hospital in CMS for a medical checkup, when
her labour suddenly started. Fortunately, some medical workers in the bus
immediately organised other passengers and helped in delivering the baby at
about 12pm, around the Constain bus stop.
After the delivery,
the mother and the new baby were taken to a private hospital.
A passenger on the bus, who gave his name as Shodipo told
PUNCH Metro that both the woman and the baby seemed to be fine. He said:
“It was a very interesting experience. To my novice eye, the
woman and the baby were both fine as of the time I left the bus.”
