A pregnant woman was on Thursday delivered of a premature male child following twin bomb attacks at the Dadin Kowa Motor Park by people suspected to be Boko Haram suicide bombers.
The woman whose name was not given delivered at the Gombe Specialist Hospital through a cesarean section.
Speaking to newsmen, the hospital's Chief Medical Director, Dr Reuben Ardo said,
"We noticed that the pregnant woman's baby was going through stress, so we took her to the theater for an emergency surgery to save the lives of both baby and mother.
“The mother is currently at the hospital receiving treatment, while the baby is in the incubator at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH) Gombe.
“From the information we got, the woman was coming back home from the church, when she met the unfortunate incident. "
Dr Ardo disclosed that the bomb blasts left 15 people dead and 77 injured, out of which 56 had been discharged at the time he spoke to newsmen.
