Woman Gives Birth To Baby Without Arms In Ogun, Husband Ran Away

The arrival of a baby in every home heralds joy.
But this was not the case for Mr. Mudashiru
Sheriffdeen of Bosun Street, Ifo in the Ifo Local
Government Area of Ogun State.
The wife, Taiwo, was on Tuesday delivered of
a baby boy who had no arms.
The baby boy, our correspondent gathered,
was born around 2pm at a private hospital,
Majotal Medical Clinic at the Ilogbo area of
Ado/Odo-Ota Local Government Area of the
state.
It was further learnt that the baby weighed
3.25 kilogrammes at birth.
The mother of the baby told our
correspondent that immediately she gave birth
to the baby boy, her husband took to his heels
on hearing that the baby was born without
arms.
Expressing her sadness, she said, “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.”
While pleading for assistance from well
meaning Nigerians, Mrs Sheriffdeen said, “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.”
