Narrating her ordeal, Uchechi said she gave birth to triplets on 10th of April after dropping out of St. Monica College in SS3 and also worked as a cook at a restaurant in Obosi, Anambra State after her parent’s demise.
According to her, she fled Obosi on Saturday night and arrived Lagos on Sunday for fear of being killed by cultist with her children.

Agboola, who expressed displeasure at the fate of the children, directed officials of the ministry to take the triplets into custody at government’s rehabilitation home for shelter and rehabilitation while social investigation continued.
Chi and her triplets have been taken to one of the State General Hospital for medical treatment.
