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.
