Mentally Ill Woman Delivers Baby On Refuse Dump In Lagos [PICTURED]

«§» 7 January 2014

A woman who had roamed the streets of Badejo Kalesanwo, in Oduduwa Community, Mushin Local Government Area of Lagos State, for the past 4 years has given birth.

It was gathered that the woman who was said to have slept on the road, eaten from bins and gone about in rags, was spotted some months ago with a protruding belly which everyone dismissed as fibroid growth.

However, the mentally ill woman, who identified herself as Amudatulai, a native of Ibadan in Oyo State, went into labour on the morning of December 25, 2013, and self-delivered a baby girl as resident watched in awe.

Reportedly, eyewitnesses said she immediately named the baby girl Mariam Olorundamilare Odunayo (Olorundamilare, means God has given me the victory, while Odunayo means, the year of Joy).

A resident, who identified herself simply as Mama Adoyo, said Amudatulai delivered the baby by the dump site situated along the newly-tarred road.

She said, “I have known her for a long time. She used to sit and sleep on that road. When we saw her protruding stomach, we didn’t know she was pregnant. We thought it was fibroid. But around 6am on Wednesday, she was crying and screaming my name and other people’s names in the area because we play with her a lot.

“I later moved close to her and when I saw it was labour pains, I asked her to let us go to the hospital, but she said no, insisting that she could see people bathing her baby, whereas she had not delivered by that time.

“I kept my eyes on her as she was screaming. Suddenly, the baby came out. We didn’t know on time, but a driver who was passing by called our attention that we should move closer to her because she had given birth.

“We had to quickly call a nurse who came to cut the placenta. The nurse later injected her and cleaned her up.”

Mama Adoyo said one of the community leaders donated money to assist in buying some materials, as other people in the neighbourhood trooped out with old and new clothes for the mother and child.
