A man whose wife died shortly after delivering their twin babies has sparked outrage after it was revealed he sold donated baby supplies—valued at over ₦5 million—for just ₦1.2 million.The supplies, which included baby food, clothes, diapers, wipes, and other essentials, were contributed by well-meaning individuals following an online appeal for support.
The items had been stocked in a shop to aid the twins’ care and upkeep.
However, reports claim the man sold everything at a drastically reduced price, and allegedly could not afford medication worth ₦10,000 for one of the twins—an act many say contributed to the babies’ reported deaths.

In an emotional video, she said, “This morning, we got a call from the Ministry of Justice. Baba Twins wants to go to the bank to withdraw ₦500,000 from the children’s account.
”She continued, “All the baby food, the wipes, the pampers, the clothes, the shoes everything that fans donated Papa Twins sold everything to a woman in Benin. Everything in that shop was worth over ₦5 million. He sold it all for ₦1.2 million.
”She also noted that the state ministry contacted her after the man attempted to withdraw money meant for the twins’ welfare.
