Baby With Two Horns Born In Osun [graphic Photos] by Nobody: 3:07pm On Mar 29, 2015
The atmosphere in the maternity centre was
serene. There was nothing suggesting the
occurrence which took the reporter there. Nurses
on duty were courteous but grew cautious and
suspicious when it was obvious the reporter was
not a patient. Why is he here?
The birth of a new born baby would normally
elicit joy and excitement in people. It is more so
when the mother has been longing for it without
results for years. But, the reverse was the case
in a maternity centre (name withheld) situated at
Ifosan area of Ilesa, in Osun State where a
woman recently gave birth to a baby with two
horns on its head.

A tip had given Saturday Tribune photos of the
strange baby, the arrival of which caused fear and
trepidation among the nurses and the proprietress
of the maternity centre. The tip also described
the hospital and the geography of its area of
operation.
The description was vivid and accurate enough
for Saturday Tribune to locate the health centre
without much difficulty. Here is the maternity
centre where the baby with two horns was born.
Then, there was a thick wall of silence. Nurses on
duty would neither deny nor confirm the
development. The reporter was tossed up and
down and finally landed before the proprietress of
the centre. She would not talk unless her identity
and that of her hospital were protected. The
reporter gave his words.

“It is true the baby was born,” she said, but
added that the h0rr@r of the event compelled her
to instruct her staff to keep sealed lips over the
development, with a view to warding off public
attention to the centre over the scary baby.
Speaking with Saturday Tribune during the visit
on Thursday, the proprietress, (she is called
matron by her staff) said the woman who gave
birth to this deformed baby was “about 25 years
old and she has been without a child for three
years.”
She explained that “this woman lives in one of the
farm settlements on the outskirt of Ilesa. She
registered for antenatal service here. So, when
she wanted to put to bed, her relatives rushed her
here to deliver the baby.
“But we were shocked to the marrow when she
eventually delivered the baby with two horns on
the head after going into labour for some hours.
By the time she was delivered of the baby, it was
already dead and we had to separate it from the
placenta.

“I have never seen such a terrible creature in my
life. So, we helped to pack the dead baby and the
placenta and handed them over to them before
they left our premises. It was indeed a fearful
development and we were saddened about it.
“This is not something we can celebrate. So, I
ordered by nurses and other attendants to keep
their mouth shut over the incident. But, I am very
surprised how you people got to know about it
and came here to inquire about it. I do not want
anyone to make something unnecessary out of
this or create problems for us here,” she stated.
She would not disclose the whereabouts of the
woman who delivered the baby. “I cannot give
you any details about her. Like I told you, she
lives in one of the farm settlements on the
outskirts of Ilesa and I don’t really know the area
and I want you to leave me out of this matter,”
she added.

The woman who froze when she was shown the
photographs of the baby, however, confirmed its
genuineness but asked how Saturday Tribune got
them. A staff member of the clinic also showed
Saturday Tribune her own photos of the baby
taken with her phone.
All efforts to locate the exact location of the
baby’s mother and her identity were not
successful.
