54-Year-Old Gives Birth 11 Babies
A 54-year-old Alake Latoyosi has delivered eleven (11) babies in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
She delivered the babies in two batches.
The first set of six arrived on 7 August, while the second arrived seven days later, on 14 August.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that her husband, Yahaya Nafiu, 56, is seeking help to support his family’s care for the babies and their mother.
He appealed to spirited individuals to assist him with money to enable him to cater to the babies and their mothers.
Nafiu is the Missioner of the Ilorin Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU) in Port Novo, Ajasse, and Cotonou in the neighbouring West African country.
According to the father, a birth attendant took delivery of the babies on two occasions.
The babies consisted of eight males and three females, but two of the girls died during delivery.

Nafiu said the remaining nine are hale and hearty. However, he said he struggled to meet the huge financial cost of caring for them and their mother.
“A few days after the delivery of the first set of children, my wife said she felt strange movements in her stomach. After a scan was carried out at the hospital, the doctor revealed that she was carrying another set of children, which led them to contact the initial birth attendant, and the next set of five babies was delivered” Nafiu said.
According to him, the pregnancy lasted over three years before the delivery.
He said the hospital could not ascertain the pregnancy position of his wife, resulting in the doctors being unable to carry out a Caesarian operation. The cleric attributed the experience to an evil spiritual influence on the doctors.
Nafiu further disclosed he had many children before the arrival of the decuplets, while his wife also had children from her previous marriage.
