Nigerian teenager, Mutiat Abiona, gave birth on the road
side beside a wall without knowing she was pregnant. The 19 year old girl gave
birth to a baby girl at Ilu Iboro, on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway,
when she went
to visit a relative according to the Nation.
An eyewitness who
also confirmed the incidence says, 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.
“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." The mother
narrated.
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."
