A new born baby with two heads was delivered on Tuesday at a hospital in Ogudu on the outskirts of the commercial city of Lagos, as photos emerge showing the two heads with oxygen tube strapped on each.
According to a shocking report by The Nation, medical doctors at Med-In Specialist Hospital, Osogbo Street, who took the delivery, said the baby was born around 6:30pm on Tuesday through an elective caesarean section.
It was gathered that the baby’s mother, surgeon and nurses entered the theatre prepared to take delivery of a set of twins as indicated by the various scans she underwent in the course of the pregnancy, but what they saw were two heads sharing a body.
Speaking to correspondents, one of the nurses who was in the delivery room, disclosed that they had prepared two cots for each of the twins but were shocked when they saw that they were conjoined.
“This is the first time I am seeing anything like this. I have watched it in movies but seeing it in real life was such an experience for me. Thankfully, the surgeon ensured that they survived.
“As I speak to you, the mother doesn’t know the condition of the babies. She still believes and expects to carry her twins. We haven’t told her yet. Only her husband was brought into the theatre to see his children and he was the one who went with the doctors to LUTH,” the nurse said.
