I couldn’t find any POS to get cash
He complained that the POS operators were not available since the issue of the new currency, so he couldn’t get cash.
James decided to trust God for safe delivery and returned home with his wife when all effort to get cash was futile. However, their situation worsened when his wife started labour around 11 pm.
“Since I could not withdraw any money, I called the attention of a nurse within our locality. But as my wife delivered, blood was coming out non-stop. All efforts by the nurse to stop the bleeding failed,” he explained.
