A medical doctor, Ere Ogbachi, has died following complications after giving birth to triplets in Bayelsa State.
Her death was confirmed in a Facebook post by her brother, Meshack Sintei, who said she was moved 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, she had successfully delivered the babies at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital in Okolobiri before her condition worsened.
“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.
The family described the frantic efforts by medical personnel to save her life as her condition deteriorated at the ICU.
“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.

They added that her oxygen level dropped sharply during the emergency response.
“The SpO2 machine in the ICU began reading downwards from 70 to 50 and then to 0,” the statement said.
Sintei said the loss has left the family devastated, describing his sister as a committed doctor and a new mother.
“It was a painful experience… my beloved sister died at exactly 2:45 am on April 14th 2026. A generation has been lost, and the Sintei family mourns,” he said.
He added that she “was a fighter to the end,” and thanked friends and well-wishers for their support during the difficult period.
Until her death, Ogbachi was a registrar at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital, a member of the Nigerian Medical Association, and an alumna of the Niger Delta University, while efforts to get official confirmation from hospital authorities were still ongoing.
