A three-month-old baby without anus has been abandoned at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.Read the full story...
The Head of Department, Medical Social Service, Dr. Jane Adebusuyi, said the baby boy was born with a perforated anus.
Baby Yusuf, as he is called, was abandoned by his parents two months ago.
Adebusuyi told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Ibadan that the father, Mr. Muyideen Yusuf, disappeared with his wife under the guise of looking for money.
She said, “The baby was just two weeks old when they brought him to the hospital with a perforated anus.
“The father told the nurses that they did not have money and that they were going in search of money for the boy‘s treatment.”
A baby born with a perforated anus was admitted into the hospital last week at the age of about 3 months. His parents brought him into the hospital and left saying that they were going to try to get money to pay for his treatment. They never returned. The hospital has attempted to call their emergency contact numbers, but they are disconnected, and go to their house, but it does not exist. Two parents literally abandoned their disabled son because they could not fathom how they would be able to pay for his surgeries. Hopefully very few other parents in the world would ever do that to their completely dependent child.
