TWO HEADED BABY BORN IN KATSINA (PHOTO)

A 19-year-old girl gave birth to a baby girl with what appears to be two heads at the General Hospital, Malumfashi, Katsina State. The baby has no eyes and also has a cleft palate and stunted fingers.

The baby’s father, 25-year-old Malam Dahiru Umar, said the baby was their first and his wife attended regular ante-natal care during pregnancy. He said he cried on sighting the baby and sympathetic hospital workers told him that they could not offer any medical assistance beside the delivery.

The mother was in a stable condition and but the baby was referred to Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika, near, Zaria. Umar, who is a petty trader, appealed to government, wealthy individuals and non-governmental organisations for support.
