4 Legs, 2 Genitals Born In Katsina
Weeks after a lady gave birth to a baby with three legs in Kaduna, the second wife of a man identified as Malam Hassan Ibrahim, has given birth to a baby with 4 legs, 2 genitals at Sabon Garin Makiyawa in Magama Jibia, Katsina State.
A 20-year-old Zainab delivered the baby last week Friday, March 9, 2018, at Sabon Garin Makiyama. Hassan and Zainab have been married for four years and are already blessed with a three-year-old son, Fahad.
Describing the baby, Hassan said, “The child has both sexes and four legs, the two abnormal legs and a joystick are on the left side of the ribs, only one of the two additional legs is moving, the second doesn’t.
I can say it’s a girl because the longer and normal legs have a female genital at their proper place.” When asked if his wife attended ante-natal clinic during pregnancy, Hassan said she did.
“For now, I’m made to understand from some health officials that she may need surgery to correct the defects and was given a referral later to the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital to meet a consultant paediatric surgeon,” he said.
Doctors’ findings and examination at the Turai Yaradu Clinic stated that “the second twin was attached to the first at the sacral region to the left, swelling at the lumbosacral region of both twins, polydactyl of the fingers. The provisional diagnosis was said to be sarcophagus conjoined twins.”
