Wow! Woman gives birth to baby without arms & husband runs away!

Wow, that's all i could say after i read this report of a baby that was delivered without arms in Ado/Odo Local Government Area, Ogun State. Ideally the arrival of a baby in every home heralds joy. But this was not the case for Mr. Mudashiru Sheriffdeen of Bosun Street, Ifo in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.

According to Punch, the wife, Taiwo, was on Tuesday delivered of a baby boy who had no arms.

The baby boy, our correspondent gathered, was born around 2pm at a private hospital, Majotal Medical Clinic at the Ilogbo area of Ado/Odo-Ota Local Government Area of the state.

It was further learnt that the baby weighed 3.25 kilogrammes at birth.

The mother of the baby told our correspondent that immediately she gave birth to the baby boy, her husband took to his heels on hearing that the baby was born without arms.

Expressing her sadness, she said, “This is my first child and I do not know why I gave birth to this kind of a baby.

“Immediately my husband was informed that his son had deformity, he ran away and had not come to see me. He is a commercial bus driver, and we had been married now for almost two years before God decided to answer our prayers.

“When I was pregnant, we took every steps that the doctor directed us to take, but we did not know why we came about this calamity.”

While pleading for assistance from well meaning Nigerians, Mrs Sheriffdeen said, “I have been warned by both my husband and our landlord not to bring the child home.

“The hospital management has asked us to leave the hospital. Now, this child and I have nowhere to go, I don’t need this baby. I want government to adopt him.”

*My question is where exactly does the man thinks he's running to?
