Woman Delivers Baby Boy After 5-Year 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 Western Nigeria.
The woman, Adenike Kolawole
delivered on Sunday 26/10/14 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.
