Mutiat Abiona,a 19-year-old girl, has
given birth to a baby girl without knowing that she was pregnant. She
delivered the baby at Ilu Iboro, on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, when she
went to visit a relative. .
According to an eyewitness, Mutiat, at
the relative’s place, complained of stomach pain and before they knew
what was happening, she gave birth to the baby beside the wall there.
Neighbours, who were surprised by the development called for a doctor’s
assistance.
She denied having knowledge of the
pregnancy but admitted having a boyfriend, Lekan, a 20-year-old brick
layer. Her mother, who was at the scene, corroborated her claim, saying
they had gone to do some tests in the hospital and they were told that
there was nothing in her womb.
Her words:
“She told me that she always met Lekan every weekend. She lives with me and throughout these last 9 months, there was no sign of the pregnancy. She still wrote the last November/December WASSCE.”
However, a medical doctor Monsurah
Kadri, said “It is not a new occurrence. We do see it. It is possible
that her stomach would not bulge. When some people, despite being
pregnant, still see some blood, they may think they are on their period
but it is not.”
