A taxi driver identified as Anayochukwu Njoku has abandoned his wife to her fate after she gave birth to conjoined twins.
Per reports, the wife named Chidinma, was said to have given birth to the conjoined twins named Goodluck and Rejoice on March 11, 2020, but their sight was not something that the man could behold.
Mrs. Beulah Chukwuma who is the Director-General of the Imo Foundation said that the twins were brought to them after the burial of their mother.

Chukwuma said, “Presently, we have a family with conjoined twins.
Their mother, Mrs. Chidinma Njoku died on 11th March, 2020 three hours after giving birth to them in a maternity in Umuokoto Nekede in Owerri West Local Government Area.
“Their father, Mr. Anayochukwu Njoku, was helping his late wife in her tailoring shop to earn a living to support their poor family of six before the arrival of the conjoined twins, after he lost his job two years ago as a driver.
“By the special grace of God, as soon as the case got to the desk of Governor Hope Uzodimma, he gave an urgent directive for the twins to be brought to the Foundation for their adequate welfare and survival.
So currently, we are reaching out to quickly get their surgery done so that they can begin to live a better life. Chukwuma said that in spite of the assistance from the state government, there was the need to go beyond government.
“We need to reach out to organisations, individuals that are public spirited to come to our aid in addition to what the government is doing for us.”
