“I love my daughter & I know that she is human” – Says Mum-of-twins Who Gave Birth Baby With 4 Hands and 3 Legs in Kaduna

24-year-old Malama Hawwa’u Jamilu in Kaduna was delivered of a set of twins with one twin reportedly birthed with 4 hands and 3 legs.

According to Daily Trust, the mother-of-3 was safely delivered of the twin babies on Sunday, 25th February, 2018. However, the joy that greeted the birth was shortened. The local nurses that delivered the twins noticed that one of them was born with four hands and three legs.

News immediately spread to the rest of community, drawing its members to troop to Kabiru Kafinta’s house, where Hawwa’u and her family reside, to see things for themselves.

To the shock of many, Hawwa’u was not perturbed about the unusual physique of her baby as she considers the situation, the will of Allah.

“Both of them are females. 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.”

According to the woman, the only peculiar behaviour exhibited by the deformed baby, is a big appetite. Besides that, she claims her baby is just 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,” she proudly said.

Hawwa’u said she has given birth three times before now, making the twins her fourth delivery during her six years of marriage.

She revealed she never attends antenatal sessions and delivered all her children at home, including the twins. But doesn’t think this has anything to do with her baby’s deformity. She said:

“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.”
