A 54-year-old Nigerian woman, Alake Latoyosi, has been delivered of 11 babies in Cotonou, Benin Republic after carrying the pregnancy for over 3 years.
According to the woman’s husband, Yahaya Nafiu, the first set of six arrived on August 7, while the second arrived seven days later, on August 14, 2024.
Nafiu said the babies were eight boys and three girls but two of the girls died during delivery.
The 56-year-old husband disclosed that the pregnancy of the children lasted over three years before delivery.
According to Nafiu, medical doctors were not able to carry out successful operations on his wife as they could not ascertain her pregnancy position.
While testifying to God’s miracle in the way the children were delivered on two different occasions by birth attendants, he said he struggled to meet the huge financial cost of caring for them and their mother.
“A few days after the delivery of the first set of children, my wife said she felt strange movements in her stomach.
“After a scan was carried out at the hospital, the doctor revealed that she was carrying another set of children, which led them to contact the initial birth attendant, and the next set of five babies was delivered,” the husband said.
