A middle aged woman has given birth to a baby with four legs in Aboridendeme-Ama community in Okrika Local Government area of Rivers State.

Hospital source where the woman delivered the baby, however, told newsmen that the baby died shortly after its delivery.
A hospital official confirmed that it was a deformed baby, noting that the deformity may have been caused by congenital anomaly.

She said: “the woman came with a full term pregnancy but on the time of her delivery, even her scan had shown a normal baby, but when she delivered, we saw this extra part of the baby.
“The baby had 3 legs, four arms and 3 ears; even the baby’s stomach was open that one could see the intestines.
“It was so obscure that we don’t know whether she was trying to abort the child.”

Meanwhile, some residents of Aparandeleama community said they were still in shock, adding that they had never seen such a thing before.

According to one of them, “I saw things for myself, the child was dead, a male child.”

Another woman said, “It was a shocking sight. I was cold. This has never happened in Okrika. I Just call it end time oo!

The curse of oil.

I saw it live shaking the body parts. Goosebumps full my body.
I suspect that woman that said "ETT" to be a nairalander

This is an example of a Ischiopagi....a formof conjoined twins that are joined at the pelvis.

From Wikipedia..

The twins are classically joined with the vertebral axis at 180°. However, the most frequent cases usually structures the ischiopagus twins with two separate spines forming a lateral angle smaller than 90°. The conjoined twins usually have four arms; two, three or four legs; and typically one external Instruments and anus.[1]

It is mostly confused with pygopagus where the twins are joined ventrally at the buttocks facing away from each other, whereas ischiopagus twins are joined dorsally at the sacrum and coccyx. Parapagus is also similar to ischiopagus; however, parapagus twins are joined side-by-side whereas ischiopagus twins typically have spines connected at a 180° angle, facing away from one another. [2][3]

Famous recent example....Lakshmi Tatma (Picture below....with her mum) . Again Wikipedia....

Lakshmi Tatama (Hindi: लक्ष्मी तात्मा = Lakṣmī Tātmā) is an Indian girl born in 2005 in a village in Araria district, Bihar, having "4 arms and 4 legs." She was actually one of a pair of ischiopagus conjoined twins one of which was headless because its head had atrophied and chest had not fully developed in the womb, causing the appearance of one child with four arms and four legs.

So far the cause of conjoined twins is unknown. Here is the opinion of Medscape...

The incomplete anatomic separation between monozygotic twins occurs sporadically, with no increased risk in future pregnancies.

Seven cases (2 published) have been reported in which conjoined twinning occurred with the use of clomiphene for induction of ovulation. Two cases of thoracopagus have been reported in which conjoined twinning occurred with periconceptional maternal griseofulvin intake. Spina bifida is associated with conjoined twinning, and one case of conjoined twinning after maternal exposure to valproic acid has been reported.

No gene mapping or linkage analysis currently exists for the malformation. Some investigators implicate abnormal X inactivation. The latter may be related to the increased incidence in female twins. Other studies refute abnormal X-chromosome inactivation.

Also, this condition may be referred to as a parasitic twin.
