A tradomedical practitioner in Lagos has claimed that a 20-year old woman delivered a tortoise and a baby girl in his clinic.
The
woman, Rasheedat Raimi, said she had carried the pregnancy for 10
months before she eventually delivered the baby girl and the tortoise at
a trado-medical clinic on Mutairu Street, Off Ijegun Road, outskirts of
Lagos. She was in pains as she talked to P.M.NEWS about the strange
delivery.
"I came to Yakafi for prayers because of the terrible
pains I was having in my stomach. Immediately I got here, prayers were
offered and immediately there was a burst of water and blood under me.
The tortoise came out with the placenta and the baby came out later. I
couldn't believe my eyes, but I was very weak. I was happy the pain left
me. I felt relieved after the delivery. I thank God," she told P.M.NEWS
slowly.
On whether she attended ante-natal clinic before the
delivery, the young woman said: "I carried the pregnancy for 10 months. I
did scans several times and nobody told me that I was carrying tortoise
in my womb. What they always told me was that I am alright and would
deliver at the right time," she added.
"This is amazing, but true.
She did not register with my clinic for ante-natal. When she came here
with her people, she was in pains, we didn't know she will deliver here.
She only came here for Tahajjud prayers (night vigil). We were praying
when suddenly she started wriggling. She was in pains.
"I touched
her stomach and observed something strange moving inside her. It was a
strange thing. I thought it was a lizard but it turned out to be a
tortoise. The tortoise tore the placenta into pieces and came out. The
baby came out afterwards.
"She fainted after the delivery and we
had to revive her with prayers. This is what God can do. She had several
scans but nobody told her that she was carrying a tortoise in her womb.
God is great," he declared.
