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
weighed 3.25 kilogrammes at birth and was bornbaround 2pm at a private hospital, Majotal Medical Clinic at the Ilogbo area of Ado/Odo-Ota Local Government Area of the state.
The mother of the baby told MetroPlus 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. So sad that's the only thing I can say and may God help the baby and mother..
