A young Fulani woman in Kaduna has given birth to a baby with a monkey-like face.
The monkey-like creature was born Monday at the General Hospital Kagarko, Kagarko local government. The woman was in labour for hours before delivering the baby that has shocked area residents.
The young mother is an indigene of Sabonlceh village.
According to a nurse who attended the woman when she arrived at the hospital, the woman was immediately taken into the labour room.
“The woman came in through the out-patient department (OPD) after seeing the doctor on call and I decided to rupture her because the cervix was fully dilated.
“After I ruptured her, fluid measuring about 2.6 litres gushed out after which she started bleeding. All this time, the baby was still in the womb,” said the nurse.
“When the bleeding persisted, I sent for the medical director and when she came, we went into the theatre to operate on the woman.
“In the process, the baby started coming out with the legs. So, the medical director asked me to stop and allow her to deliver the baby by herself.
“She delivered the baby breech and when it came out; we discovered that it was an abnormal baby. It was half human and half animal. We lost the baby shortly after delivery,” said the nurse who spoke on condition of anonymity.
She further disclosed that the baby was four kilograms in weight which is a healthy weight for a new born.
However, the legs and ears of the baby were like those of a monkey.
The mother of the late monkey-like creature is currently at the hospital receiving treatment. She had lost a lot of blood during the delivery.
Wonders truly never cease.
