Woman gives birth in a tricycle(keke marwa) in Lagos

Residents of Abule egba,lagos where stunned beyond words when a woman accidentally gave birth to a baby in a tricyle known as keke marwa in local parlance.

Mrs Mutiat Aileru delivered a baby girl at about 5 pm.Eyewitnesses say a woman suddenly ran out of the commercial tricycle, Keke Marwa and raised the alarm that her relative was delivering a baby inside the tricycle they had boarded.

Women selling wares by the road and pedestrians rushed to her aide.They picked her up, some cleaning her, others cuddling and others yet bringing accessories to assist in the delivery.

According to the driver of the tricycle,Prophet Ariyo Ajibola of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Erimo in Ijaiye-Ojokoro,

It was at Ikeja computer village that the two women that followed the mother approached me to beg me to assist them to carry a pregnant woman to a hospital in Abule Egba. 

At first I was reluctant but when they began to plead, I obliged. Moreso, as a prophet, I had an inner conviction that there won’t be any problem. 

And I took them in. But when we got past Agege, the pregnant woman began to moan in seriuos labour. 

She became hysterical and her people began to panic. But I was relaxed and praying silently for God’s intervention, I was calming the women down. At a point, I took one-way to beat the gridlock on the road. 

Then suddenly I heard a loud noise of a rushing liquid, when we just left Abule-Egba bus stop and the other women began to raise the alarm that a baby had just been delivered. And they began calling for help. 

As a man and a Christian, I just thank God for what has happened. It is just a miracle and I will give a special thanksgiving to God once I get to the church for an evening programme we have today. I asked them to pay N1000 but they offered N700 and I accepted but even if they don’t pay me, I won’t be unhappy.”
