A resident of Ikirun, Ifelodun Local Government Area of Osun State, Mrs. Janet Dada has cried out for help over her eight years old pregnancy.

She lamented that her pregnancy has defied all medical and spiritual interventions, calling on the state government and other Nigerians with possible solutions to come to her aid.

Mrs. Dada explained how it has become difficult for her to move about in the community because of her inability to give birth since she became pregnant in 2016.

According to her during an interview, the shame of facing the public has been killing her slowly.

The woman revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage during her first pregnancy, adding that she conceived the current pregnancy some months later.

She said she had visited several hospitals for solutions but to no avail, adding that the spiritual homes she had visited have not been helpful too as she continues to harbour the pains of carrying an unborn child for eight years.

Mrs. Dada, who is married with kids, lives in an uncompleted building in the outskirts of Ikirun.

The pregnant woman disclosed that she has visited so many pastors and Imams, and that as a matter of fact, she has gone spiritual on the issue but there seems to be no hope in sight.

“In 2016, I was pregnant but I had miscarriage. After some time, I got pregnant again.

After a year, we went to the hospital for a scan and they told us it is only water they see in my stomach.

“When we visited some spiritualists, they said there is a child there but that there is no amount of scan we would do, we will be seeing water. I need help. I want the Osun State Government to assist me. I want Nigerians to help, it has not been easy for me,” she appealed.
