A mentally ill woman in her thirties delivered a
baby girl on Ndidem Usang Iso, Marian road,
Calabar’s most highbrow street, yesterday, June 9
at about 3:50pm. According to CrossRiverWatch,
eyewitnesses around said the lady has been a
familiar face in the neighbourhood before she
became pregnant.
When a CrossRiverWatch reporter visited the
scene of the delivery after the mother and baby
had been moved to the hospital, one shop owner
told our reporter that:
"We did not see her again for some time after she
became pregnant. I think she was raped. She
returned some days ago and sat in that place and
has been feeling very uncomfortable since
yesterday. Nobody knew it was labor that was
disturbing her. It was when the baby started
coming out that people called the health workers
who came here to assist her."
The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Inyang Asibong,
responded immediately by going to the scene
personally with an ambulance to handle the
situation. On arrival, she took the mother and the
baby to the General Hospital, Calabar for expert
medical attention.
Dr. Asibong also promised that after their
discharge from the hospital, the mother and child
will be referred to a psychiatric hospital.
The mentally ill lady refused to go to the hospital.
She later agreed after a friend of hers, another
mentally ill woman, came and begged her.
