This was shared in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
According to the post, the couple has been trying to have a baby for 19 years.
The post read: “Omo!!!! Surrogate mother vanished with couple’s twin babies at 34 weeks. The couple has been waiting since 2006—19 whole years! The biological mother will be 50 this year and is gradually losing it. Imagine. Why are people so heartless?”
The post quickly gained traction, with many concerned individuals flooding the comment section to share their thoughts.

@DotunAdebiyi17: “But Doc, who is that baby going to be sharing blood with the Father and the surrogacy mother right cos I don’t understand that aspect. I don’t know if you get what I mean or if you understand my question.”
@oluchi__x: “A set of twin at that! Any mother would lose it. They should properly investigate it.”
@Ayodele_B_A: “The biological mother should stop waiting because she didn’t carry the twin for 9 months. Surrogacy is a 70/30 thing. It could work, it may not depending on the surrogate mother. She is their mother by right and law even if they are not are eggs.”
@amen_samson: “Legal contracts are not enforceable in surrogacy. In some countries , the surrogate is the legal parent, in other countries, the intending parents are. Nigeria doesn’t have a clear law on this area. In some country, a surrogate can be paid, in uk , big no!”
@amen_samson: “Another angle we must look at is that there are fast growing concerns of intending parents abandoning children to surrogate either because of gender or disability. Surrogates have been made to care for children due to abandonment by parents.”
