The triplet’s father, Dr. Kehinde Osiki, a staff of the Department of History and Strategic Studies at the University of Lagos, was on the ground to witness the delivery of the babies.

Osiki couldn’t hide his joy at the arrival of the babies.

He explained that technology has brought relief to problems often attributed to spirituality, saying instead of people carrying the burden of superstition, they should seek scientific solutions to their problems.

He encouraged couples who could not fertilize not to lose hope, stressing that solutions abound for all problems.

The mother of the triplets is a member of the staff of the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, Ibadan.
