Malama Hawwa’u Jamilu: Baby Born With 4 Hands And 3 Legs In Kaduna
A 24-year-old lady identified as Malama Hawwa’u Jamilu, reportedly welcomed a baby born with four hands and three legs in Kaduna. It’s understood she was safely delivered of twins on Sunday, 25th February, 2018. However, the strange birth spread throughout their community with people trooping to Kabiru Kafinta’s house, where Hawwa’u and family are residing.
According to Daily Trust, Hawwa’u isn’t disturbed about the physique of her baby. She said:
“Both of them are female. Of course, one would have loved to deliver the babies without any deformity. But since Allah in His infinite mercy had decided to create the twins like this, what can I do? This is why you see me relaxed, and I love them both.”
She added that the only strange behaviour shown by the deformed twin is that she eats a lot. Hawwa’u said:
“Apart from that, she is normal like any other baby. Have you forgotten that I carried her in my womb for nine months? I love my daughter and I know that she is human, despite her physical challenge.”
According to Hawwa’u, she has given birth three times before now in her six years of being married. She also disclosed that she doesn’t attend ante-natal sessions adding that she delivered her other children at home, same as the twins.
“I think the problem is not failure to visit the hospital, because the twins are not my first. As I said earlier, it is just the will of Allah. I gave birth three times, and I have not experienced anything like this. This is the will of Allah and there is nothing one can do about it.”
A doctor at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Dr. Umar Abdul’aziz, said the extra leg and hands can be removed and the little girl can have a normal life. He added:
“There is nothing to worry about. It is a case that can be handled by experts after certain investigations. It is however advisable for all pregnant women to be attending ante-natal for their health and that of their unborn babies. Many things can be detected during ante-natal that would assist in safe delivery and correction of abnormalities. It is not proper at this period of the world’s development for somebody to decide to ignore ante-natal and be giving birth at home.”
