Ajunwa, who spoke with P.M.NEWS on phone, said there is nothing controversial about her giving birth to triplets because she got pregnant like a normal woman before she was delivered of the babies.

She said she did not publicise the birth of the children immediately because she was in the hospital recuperating after what she went through.

Ajunwa, who is the Divisional Police Officer at Meiran Police Station, Lagos, southwest Nigeria, explained that she had done a lot for this country and did not expect to be repaid in this way.

The Olympic gold medalist disclosed that she couldn’t have been expected to shout to the world that she had given birth to triplets when she was between life and death and being taken care of in the hospital. She said her babies too were very small and were under close observation by the doctors.

The 42-year old police officer said rather than create controversy around the birth of her babies, Nigerians should rejoice with her and pray for her speedy recovery and good health for her  babies.
