A family has been thrown into grief and agony as a heavily pregnant woman died after the failure of her husband to get cash to pay the required deposit as he could not have access to cash over the counter in banks.
According to Tribune, the incident happened in Kasuwan Magani in Kaduna State’s Kajuru local government area.
James Auta, the deceased’s husband, said his wife was rejected by the hospital when he could not make the payment due to the scarcity of the naira notes.
He said, “I ran to my bank to withdraw money but was told no money. I went back looking for POS operators, but I could not find any because, since the issue of new currency began, most POS operators locked up their business centre.”
However, as he could not withdraw the money, they both decided to go home, trusting God for safe delivery.
Unfortunately, their situation took a turn for the worse, which eventually led to her death.
