CEOAFRICA.com gathered that a woman gave birth to a baby with four ear lobes and no genital in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State in Nigeria.

Mrs. Mbanengen Emmanuel, gave birth to the baby at about 5:30 pm at Yima Hospital, located at the International Market area, a suburb of Makurdi in Benue State. But the baby was reported to have died few hours after delivery.

Confirming the incident, the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. John Dzike, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday the baby also had its intestines exposed at the lower part of the abdomen.

According to him, it is the second time a baby with such type of complications was delivered at the hospital this year.

He explained that the defect was caused by malformation during pregnancy.

“This is a case of congenital malformation. Some women use un-prescribed drugs during pregnancy,  that is why it is very important to attend ante-natal clinics, especially in the first 12 weeks.

“Diseases like virus, chicken pox, and mumps which are viral, can cause congenital malformation,” Dzike explained.
