A 34-year-old housewife, Hauwa’u Sulaiman, a mother of 13, gave birth to quadruplets at the Gambo Sawaba General Hospital, Zaria.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Sulaiman, who is elated about the development stated that the only surviving male child of the quadruplets is dead but others have been placed under observation.
She said: “I am very healthy and strong but the medical experts advised that I need to be monitored very well before they can discharge me.”
Her husband, Sulaiman Mohammed, who is a driver, thanked Allah for the wonderful gifts of babies adding that his elder brother has been assisting him to take care of the children whenever the need arises.
Also, his mother, Saudatu Haruna, said the birth of the quadruplets was not surprising to them stressing that the woman had given birth to a set of twins at three different occasions.
Isa Abdulkadir, the leading Consultant in the Pediatrics unit at ABUTH, said the three babies were in good condition.
