Baby with two horns born in Osun (Graphic Photos)

There has been shock and fear ,over a strange
baby born at a maternity centre (name
withheld) situated at Ifosan area of Ilesa, in
Osun State.
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.
