Woman Delivers Bouncing Baby Boy inside BRT Bus (Photo)

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."
