NAIRA REDESIGN: MY PREGNANT WIFE BLED TO DEATH – FATHER OF THREE  

A father of three, Bello Ali Baffa has narrated how his 32-year-old pregnant wife, Shema’u Sani Labaran, who was in labour, bled to death due to rejection of old naira note tendered to settle her medical bill at a Kano State government-owned hospital, Muhammadu Abdullahi Wase specialist hospital.

Baffa, a 42-year-old man, said his pregnant wife was about to be delivered of their fourth baby when he took her to the hospital but unfortunately medical personnel on duty didn’t attend to her.

He said he had the old naira notes on him but they rejected them just like they did to many other patients and that no POS was available for transaction, except transfer.

Baffa revealed that he spent hours waiting for the cashier to confirm payment alert of N8,528 for drugs.

And the medical personnel insisted they would not attend to his wife until he deposited necessary payment and provided evidence.
