The birth of conjoined twins
by a housewife, Mrs. Ene
Musa Andrew, at the St.
Daniels hospital, Otukpo,
came as a great mystery to
the people of Jerusalem
street in Otukpo Local
Government Area in Benue
state.
There has never been any
incident of this mysterious
birth in any part of the
various communities of the
local government. Otukpo is
the ancestral home of the
Idoma nation, a minority
tribe in the agrarian state.
LEADERSHIP gathered that
the incident occurred
penultimate Monday when
the mother of the twins
delivered through cesarean
operation. The honed twins
are still in the hospital
without anyone to come for
assistance.
It was gathered that the
joined twins have four
hands and three legs, two
heads, two chests and
noses, and that they posses
the same pelvic girdle.
The proprietor of St. Daniels
Hospital, Dr. M. O Daniel,
said that the twins are
joined together at the
abdominal region with a
shared female organ, with
one having a healthy traces
of surviving than the other.
He stated that the twins
were eating well but it may
result to complications if an
urgent high-tech operation
is not carried out outside the
state and appealed to
government agencies,
philanthropists and religious
institutions to come to the
aid of the parents.
Mr. Andrew Musa, a corporal
with the Nigeria Police
currently serving with the
Otukpo division is the father
of the joined twins. He said
"there has never been such
strange delivery in his family
lineage.
