Husband Flees as Wife in Ogun Gives Birth to Baby Without Arms

A woman in Ogun state was overcome with sorrow after giving birth to a baby boy that had no arms. To make matters worse, her husband immediately fled after hearing the news.

According to Punch, the baby was born on Tuesday afternoon at a private hospital called Majotal Medical Clinic located in the Ilogbo area of Ado/Odo-Ota Local Government Area of Ogun state. The baby weighed 3.25 kg at birth.

Speaking on the incident, the new mother 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.

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.”
