Every new day comes with a new story...this one happened in Ogun state. A couple in Ifo LGA of Ogun state had rejected their baby who was born in a deformed shape.
According
to eyewitnesses, Mrs Taiwo Sheiffdeen put to bed yesterday at exactly
2pm at Majotal Medical clinic in Ilogo area of Ado.
On
hearing that his wife had delivered a baby without arms, the father of
the newborn, Mr. Mudashiru Sheriffdeen of Bosun Street took to his
heels.
The baby that weighed 3.25kg at the time of his birth had been rejected by his mother and father over this severe deformity.
The
sorrowful first time mother is calling on the government to adopt the
baby because her landlord and husband have warned her not to bring the
baby home.
In her words:
“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.”
What
a poor child! Hope someone will adopt him on time. The innocent newborn
baby boy has suddenly become their enemy as if the deformity was his
fault.
