Photo: Woman Delivers Bouncing Baby Boy Inside BRT Bus

Passengers on a Bus Rapid Transit going to the
CMS area of Lagos on Wednesday were forced to
become emergency midwives and labour
attendants when a pregnant woman was
delivered of a bouncing baby boy inside the bus.


According to reports, the woman identified
simply as Afolaranmi, was going to a private
hospital in CMS for a medical checkup, when her
labour suddenly started. Fortunately, some
medical workers in the bus immediately
organised other passengers and helped in
delivering the baby at about 12pm, around the
Constain bus stop.

After the delivery, the mother and the new baby
were taken to a private hospital.

A passenger on the bus, who gave his name as
Shodipo told PUNCH Metro that both the woman
and the baby seemed to be fine. He said:

“It was a very interesting experience. To my
novice eye, the woman and the baby were both
fine as of the time I left the bus.”
