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.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the
woman, identified simply as Afolaranmi, was going to a private hospital
in CMS for a medical checkup, when she started her labour.
It was gathered that some medical workers in the bus organised other passengers to help in delivering the baby.
It was learnt that the mother was delivered of the baby at about 12pm, around the Constain bus stop.
Our
correspondent gathered that Afolaranmi, who joined the BRT bus at the
Ketu Bus stop, is a trader and lives in the Mowe area of Ogun State.
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, said 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."
