A woman identified as Mrs Taiwo Sheriffdeen gave
birth to a baby boy without arms in Ifo LGA of
Ogun state on Tuesday February 24th. According to
a report by Punch, the woman gave birth to the
baby, her first child, at Majotal Hospital, a private
hospital in the Ilogbo area of Ado/Odo-Ota Local
Government Area of the state.
Speaking on the birth of her deformed baby, the
mother said her husband, Mudashiru Sheriffdeen,
ran away after he was told that their child was
deformed at birth.
"This is my first child and I do not know why I gave
birth to this kind of a baby. Immediately my
husband was informed that his son had deformity,
he ran away and had not come to see me. He is a
commercial bus driver, and we had been married
now for almost two years before God decided to
answer our prayers.
When I was pregnant, we took every steps that the
doctor directed us to take, but we did not know
why we came about this calamity" she said.
According to the woman, her husband and the
landlord of the place where she lives have asked
her not to bring the child home. She also pleaded
with the government to come and help her by
adopting her baby
"I have been warned by both my husband and our
landlord not to bring the child home. The hospital
management has asked us to leave the hospital.
Now, this child and I have nowhere to go, I don't
need this baby. I want government to adopt him."
