A medical doctor, Dr Ere Ogbachi, has died following complications after delivering triplets in Bayelsa State.
The death was confirmed in a Facebook statement on Wednesday by the deceased’s brother, Meshack Sintei, who said she was later rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, where she died at about 2:45 am on April 14, 2026.
According to the family statement, complications set in shortly after she successfully gave birth, prompting an emergency transfer to intensive care.
“She successfully gave birth to triplets at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital in Okolobiri… complications arose that eventually forced us to rush her to the Intensive Care Unit in FMC Yenagoa,” the statement said.
Describing the final moments, the family said medical personnel made efforts to save her life at the ICU, where her condition deteriorated rapidly.
“We watched her struggling to live, we watched her gasping for breath, we watched how the team of doctors and other experts in FMC kept trying their best to revive her,” it stated.
