The lady said that after she gave birth, the man visited her in the hospital but when he was informed of the hospital bills, he assured her that he would come back and pay them. She waited for two weeks without her boyfriend returning To the hospital to pay the hospital bills.
One morning she saw the man’s brother outside the hospital and informed him of the bills. That brother later came to pay half of the bills but he left the hospital without paying the rest. She has to beg the doctors to let her go home but is assured that she will settle the bills later. Fortunately, they listen to her pleas and she went home. Her friend too helped her by raising funds at their information centre for her. She got Ghc300 and went to pay the rest of the bills.

His father advised her not to arrest Prince as she planned earlier. Salamatu went on to say that she agreed with the elder’s advice and allow Prince to visit her. The worrisome part of her story is that Prince didn’t give her money to cater for the child. She later went to stay together at Asman with the hope that he will change and perform his duties but her boyfriend travelled to their hometown without coming back again or sending her money. Salamatu said she can’t provide everything their child needs so she wants her boyfriend to also support her in catering for their child
