South West: Public health delegate denies news of Nanuplets born in the region

By Kahdinga M.

The South West Regional Delegate of Public Health, Dr. Eko Eko Filbert has refuted rumors stating that nanuplets (nine babies) were born in the region some three months ago. This information is contained in a release signed by the delegate this August 21.

According to the delegate, no woman delivered of nine babies in the South West. “The Regional Delegate of Public Health for the South West, Dr Eko Eko Filbert wishes to inform the public that no such delivery is captured on any of the data collection platforms from any regular authorized health facility in the South West Region and calls on the prudence of all”. Part of the release reads.

The Delegate’s reaction is coming months after a video had been circulating on social media stating that a Nigerian woman based in Cameroon had delivered of nine babies. It is hoped that following this release, the air can be cleared on where exactly the nanuples were born.
