Family cry for help after wife gives birth to 11 babies
The family of Mr. Yahaya Imam Nafiu whose wife, Chognika Latoyossi Alake, gave birth to 11 babies cry for help.
Nafiu, a native of Onikẹkẹ Compound in Popo Giwa, Ilorin, Kwara State, and his wife from Ajase in Cotonou, Benin Republic, currently reside in Ajase.
The elder brother of Nafiu, Alhaji Zakariyau Nafiu, who also serves as the Imam of Iponrin, shared insights about the family’s background, revealing that Nafiu was born and educated in Ilorin before relocating to Cotonou nearly two decades ago for business opportunities.

“Alake is his third wife and had two children for him before this incident; apart from the children from the other wives.
“But two babies are dead with nine left, and we don’t want further fatalities.”
While disclosing that they informed the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, and other relevant people about the development, he said, “We want to relocate them home; which is not easy with the present situation of the family.”
Another brother of Nafiu, Alhaji Yahaya Isiaq Onikẹkẹ, pleaded with the federal and Kwara state governments, as well as well-to-do individuals, to assist the family, saying, “Because we don’t have the capacity.”
The elder sister of the children, Habiblah, said their mother first had “six children at a maternity in June, in Cotonou. We thought that was all, but she kept saying she was not feeling fine, which prompted a scan which discovered that some babies were left.
“She returned to the maternity ward in August, where she had the remaining five babies.”
