ABANDONED TWINS

A new mother, Fiona kabagenyi has fled the hope medical Centre in the kawempe area of Kampala where she was delivered of a set of twins.

She left behind the two newborn girls at the centre.

It's said that Fiona disappeared from the facility due to the inability of her husband, Eric mugaya, to pay the sum of ugsh 500k owed the hospital.

Eric said he was not at home when his wife was delivered of the twins, adding that he had been struggling to raise funds to no avail.

He said appeals to the centre’s management to allow him pay by installment were turned down.

He said, “fiona is my second wife. I had been married to my first wife for some time and when she didn’t conceive, family members started mounting pressures on us. When the pressure was unbearable, she told me to go ahead and get someone that could give me a child.

“In less than two years after I met this one (fiona), she conceived. I was not at home on the day she was delivered of the twins. I was asked to pay ugsh800000 for the medical bills and from where I was, I sent ugsh20,000 as a deposit. Because of the nature of my job, I couldn’t make it to the hospital immediately.

“But when I was off duty, I visited the hospital. At a point, I begged the management to give me some time and that I would pay them by installment, but they refused.”

He said his family later raised ugsh70,000 from a cooperative society to make the money ugsh90,000.

Adeyemi, who claimed to be an escort, said he was heart-broken when he heard that his wife fled the hospital over his failure to settle the bill.

He said, “On the day she ran away, I emptied my account and withdrew ugsh60,000 through the Automated Teller Machine to make the money ugsh150,000. I begged them to allow me to write an undertaking, and that I would not default, and that I would pay them.

“There are people owing me as well. Somebody is owing me ugsh1.5m, another person has been owing me ugsh280,000 since 2024 and I didn’t kill those people because of that. So, why can’t they be patient with me too?

“Now, I was told the Divisional Police Officer of kawempe Police Station wants to see me and I have been given a letter; I don’t understand all these drama?”

When our correspondent asked if he had seen his wife since she fled the hospital, he denied, adding that he had also deleted her telephone number from his mobile phone.

“I don’t know where she is right now. But I don’t really care about her. I have asked myself, if a woman could do something like this to less than two weeks

She said, “The reason she fled was primarily because of the money. She also said she didn’t plan to be pregnant  with twins. She said she had had five children already and to add another two would be a burden.”

MAY GOD PROTECT THE INNOCENT TWINS twins are a blessing not a curse or burden
