A 23-year-old woman, Mrs Seember Rochas, has d!ed after giving birth to twin boys at the Ortese Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Benue State.
The woman’s husband, 27-year-old Mr Mende Rochas, told The Guardian on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 that his wife delivered the twins successfully but d!ed about two hours later.
According to him, his wife went into labour at about 7:00 p.m. on September 9, when staff at the camp’s makeshift health post had closed for the day.
He said she eventually delivered the babies inside the camp without medical assistance but developed complications afterwards and died at about 9:00 p.m.
