Deputy Superintendent of police, DSP Bright Akhimien and wife, Mrs Joyce have welcomed sextuplets at BridgeStone Hospital in Port Harcourt, Rivers state after six years of marriage, Vanguard has reported.
Akhimien, who said one of the six children died during child birth, added that it is not easy to take care of the remaining five infants.
“The physical and financial burden has been very challenging ever since. We don’t sleep at night anymore, as one restless child is keeping quiet, another one is taking over.
“I want to thank my Pastor and his wife as well as members of my church, Four Square Gospel Church who have been so supportive from the first day. My colleagues at my duty post, especially the Commander, CSP Paul Obot have been very cooperative. At times while on duty, and there were calls from the hospital, I would just be allowed to rush down. Their understating has been a source of strength for me.”
