A man, whose wife passed away shortly after giving birth to their twins, has come under fire after selling off donated items worth over ₦5 million for just ₦1.2 million - a decision many say indirectly led to the death of the twins, as he couldn't afford a medicine worth just ₦10,000.
This was revealed in a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, by a user known as @TheBeninBlogger, who reposted a viral clip of a woman who had earlier used her platform to solicit support for the grieving father.
According to her, following the death of the man's wife after childbirth, her fans rallied around and donated items worth millions to support the newborn twins.
These included baby food, clothes, wipes, diapers, shoes, and other essentials, all stocked in a shop for the twins' upkeep.
However, she revealed that the man sold everything to a woman in Benin for just ₦1.2 million.
"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 said in the emotional video.
She added, "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 noted that the state ministry contacted her as the man attempted to withdraw funds meant for the children.
The situation has triggered mixed reactions online, with many questioning the man's actions and calling for justice for the late twins.
