A Facebook user has taken to the platform to draw attention to the plight of a Nigerian woman who recently lost the child she gave birth to after being gang-raped in Ghana.
Bright Sylvanus claims the woman from Imo State was stranded in a hospital in Ghana because she couldn’t pay her hospital bills after her child died in the hospital two weeks after being born via C-section.
He claimed that the woman moved to Ghana in search of a job. While there, she was allegedly gang-raped and it resulted in a pregnancy. While pregnant, she was allegedly gang-raped again.
She gave birth on May 31 via ceserean section and the baby died on June 15. The woman was allegedly stranded in Ridge hospital, Accra, because she could not afford to pay the hospital bills. She also couldn’t bury her dead child because of the money she owed the hospital.
Bright said he took pity on the woman when he heard about her situation and he went to the hospital to clear her bills.
Sharing photos of the woman and her baby, Bright wrote:
