Tompolo’s Firm Settles N4m Bill of Quadruplet Mother in Delta Hospital

Succour finally came the way of Mrs. Gladys Omodiagbe, the new quadruplet mum who was stuck in a private hospital in Warri, Delta State from October 2023 over her inability to settle the N4m medical bill incurred on her delivery, after Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, owned by the Niger Delta Leader, Chief Government Tompolo, cleared the outstanding medical bill of N4m owed the hospital on Saturday.

 The management of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited dispatched its Chief Security Officer, Ashakah Orobosa, with a cheque for an unspecified amount of money to effect the payment of the medical bill to enable the discharge of the mum and her quadruplets from the hospital.

While speaking with our correspondent on the telephone on Sunday, Orobosa didn’t state the amount paid by Tantita but confirmed that the woman had been discharged after his firm settled the bill.

He simply said, “Yes, the company has paid for her discharge. It was done as a part of our Corporate Social Responsibility.”

The new mother and the four babies were formally discharged at about 6 p.m. on Saturday.

It could be recalled that PUNCH Metro reported on Thursday that the housewife, after a 12-year delay, was on October 21, 2023, delivered of a set of quadruplets through a Caesarean Section at the Coastal Specialist Clinic, Bendel Estate, Warri, Delta State.

But the mother and babies were stuck in the hospital for four months following the family’s inability to pay the medical bill of N4m.

Also, our correspondent learnt that a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Olaye, proprietors of Bravo Hotel, Warri, were also at the hospital with donations of an unspecified amount of money in support of the upkeep of the quadruplets.

The Olayes, in addition, volunteered a part of their palatial residential building at the Bendel Estate, Warri, for the recuperation of mother and babies, “pending the time when they will be able to acquire a befitting accommodation for the upkeep of the God’s gift,” a source told our correspondent.

Consequently, the mother with the four babies, on Saturday night, were said to have moved from the hospital to the Olayes’ residence in the neighbourhood, rather than return to their Airport Road one-room apartment, which the doctors described as medically unsuitable for the health conditions of the babies.
