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.”
