Bashar said the babies were born at home with the support of a male health worker in their community while he (the father) was at the nearby market.
According to him, seeing the conditions of the babies, his younger brother called and informed him of the delivery.
He added that “since the delivery of the babies, we have stayed with them at home for few days due to financial challenges before I reported the incidence at the hospital.”
Meanwhile, during a visit to the hospital, the Matron Paediatric, Mrs. A.A. Abdulmumin, said that the conjoined twins were receiving care under the leadership of Dr. Shola Doye.
She said that Doye is a consultant surgeon and has already compiled information for a surgery to separate them. However, the Matron did not give further details of when the surgery would be conducted.
Musa Muazu, the Public Relations Officer of the hospital, revealed that the surgeon (Doye) was out of town, stressing that he would invite newsmen for further details as soon as the doctor returned.
