A woman believed to be in her 30s in
Iyin Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelogun Local
Government Area of Ekiti State,
Nigeria , has given birth to a strange
looking frog-like baby .
The woman, (name withheld) and a
mother of two, was pregnant for 13
months and was said to have
undergone several tests at various
private hospitals in the state where
she was assured of a set of twins.
She was said to have delivered the
strange creature at the General
Hospital in the town through a
Cesarean Section in the hospital at
about 2.15 pm last Thursday.
The birth of the fearful baby caused a
stir in the hospital as medical officials
were seen discussing the strange
birth , while others trooped to the
hospital from the town and
neighbouring communities to see the
“strange baby’’
Commissioner for Health in the state,
Dr. Wole Olugboji, confirmed the
delivery.
His words; “There was a woman who
gave birth to a strange baby at General
Hospital Iyin. The baby is dead but the
mother is okay.”
He said the mother of the baby was
still unconscious due to the sedation
administered to her before the CS to
ensure she did not see the creature.
The commissioner noted that the
strange birth was quickly disposed off
to save the parents from
embarrassment.
Vanguard gathered that the woman’s
husband was present in the delivery
room and approved of the quick burial
of the strange creature.
A source at the hospital told Vanguard
that the strange ‘baby’ has two
bulging eyes and few strand of hair on
the forehead. The creature had no
brain. Its head was open at the back
and you can see mucus inside the
head instead of brain. It was a strange
creature that nobody seems to have
seen before.”
Another source said that the creature
was very tiny at birth. The delivery
was abnormal as the fluid which was
drained from the mother’s body was in
excess. The baby must have been
deformed due to the effects of some
drugs or herbs. That is why we always
ask pregnant women not to take any
drug unless prescribed by a qualified
doctor. We cannot rule it out that the
deformity might have been caused by
concoction. It is possible.”
