Adenike Kolawole who delivered after 5 years of pregnancy |
An
Abuja-based woman who was barren for 27 years has delivered a baby boy
after five years of pregnant in a church in Lagos State, PM News reports.
The woman, Adenike Kolawole delivered on Sunday at
Evangelical Church of Cherubim and Seraphim located at Pipeline Road,
Mafon area, Ejigbo, Lagos during church service.
Kolawole who is
married to Kayode said her problem started after she had a miscarriage.
She said she has been looking for the fruit of womb since then.
She
said she had sought both medical and spiritual help before she noticed
that she was pregnant. But at the same time she was observing her normal
mensural circles.
She said she waited endlessly to deliver but
all that expectations was to no avail. This prompted her to relocate to
Lagos. She said the search for spiritual solution brought her to the
church where she eventually delivered the baby.
She said those
years were traumatic because her husband was under intensive pressure to
send her away. “I was rejected by my relations, my husband’s family who
did not give me the chance of bearing a child. My only consolation was
my faith in God,” she narrated.
On
how it happened, she explained that she was at the church service when
she noticed that water was coming from her private part and she went to a
room to check what was happening before she knew it, the baby came out
alive.
She said she raised alarm which attracted church members
who assisted her to deliver the baby. The news of the deliverance
attracted residents who trooped to the church in droves to see the woman
and the new born baby.
When our reporter visited the church on
Tuesday, residents were still visiting the church to congratulate the
woman and her husband, Kayode who expressed shock on what happened.
Kayode
said he did not believe his wife over the years when she claimed to be
pregnant because he had waited in vain. He said he was grateful to God
for what he had done and thanked the well wishers for their support.
The
prophet of the church, Yinka Olawale said when the woman came from
Abuja, he noticed that she was pregnant and at the same time was having
her monthly mensural circle.
He said he embarked on prayer and
also used anointing oil and holy water with faith. He said the first
sign they observed was that the circle stop and she delivered on Sunday.
He thanked God on what happened and said it has strengthened his faith in God.
