The Imo State Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma has ordered the immediate release of a 19-year-old mother and her twins babies who were allegedly detained by a medical doctor since May 4, 2024 over rising medical bill for Cesarian Section.


According to a report by Leadership, the doctor, Silas Nwamadi was alleged to have frustrated efforts to clear the medical bill of the teenage mother to deliver her all-boys twins.

CP Danjuma on Thursday also ordered that Nwamadi, the medical director of Goodwill Maternity at Obinze in Owerri West local government area of the state be investigated for admitting that he once jokingly told the nursing mother to give him the twins in lieu of the medical bill.

Precious Okere, the mother of the twins named Chidindu and Chijindu, told the police that Dr Nwamadi had frustrated every effort to be discharged from the hospital as he kept increasing the bill for the Cesarean Section conducted on her since May.

The CP scolded the medical doctor for his refusal to have empathy on the kids and their 19-year old mother, especially when some compassionate Nigerians waded in to pay the delivery bill, which was suddenly jerked up.




The grandmother of the twins, Mrs Ngozi Okere had petitioned the CP on Wednesday, where she alleged that the medical doctor had been persuading her and her daughter to give him the twins in exchange for the delivery bill.

The twins’ mother, Precious, also corroborated the allegation before the police commissioner.

Some public spirited Nigerians, led by an activist Journalist, Chidiebube Okeoma had raised to pay the supposed bill and secure the release of the twins and their mother, but the efforts met resistance from the doctor who kept jerking up the bill.

Okere also explained that rather than releasing her and her children, nurses at the hospital engaged her in a physical fight resulting in injuries while her mother lost her phone.
