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.” she
said.
