Update On 22yrs Old Student Who Gave Birth Inside Toilet

The baby delivered in the toilet of Moremi Hostel by a 400-level student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Oyinlola Rotimi, has been named Nifemi, Okikiola. Oyinlola, who gave birth Tuesday, was wrongly accused of attempting to flush her baby boy down the septic tank.

But it was later learnt that she is actually inexperienced in child bearing, as she had thought she had a stomach upset not knowing she was in labour.

The 22-year-old mother, studying Agricultural Extension and Rural Development, had told our Punch that the circumstances that surrounded the delivery of her baby made her “a celebrity.”

She expressed delight with the birth of the baby, describing her experience as “unforgettable”. When asked how soon she would have another baby, she said, “not so soon,”

It was gathered that the naming of the baby was low-key due to the examination going on in the school.

One of Oyinlola’s friends, who spoke on condition of anonymity on Wednesday night, said she is “extremely happy” at the naming.

She said, “Today (Wednesday) is one of the days I have seen my friend looking so happy, she is extremely joyous. Although, this is not the actual way we planned it. We should have celebrated more than this if not for the fact that examination is ongoing.

“Most of our colleagues are taking exam and that is the major reason for the small celebration. I am hopeful that when the baby clocks one, we will celebrate it in a bigger way because he is our boy.”
