Conjoined Twins With 1 Liver, 1 kidney & 1 intestine born to Abuja Couple


The conjoined twins were delivered at about 7 pm on July 2, 2013 at LUNA Hospital in Gwarinpa, Abuja. The babies are joined from the stomach and chest down. They have three legs joined together, one liver, one kidney and one intestine.”
Ironically, the scan that was conducted didn’t reveal that it was conjoined twins.
The 32-year-old resident of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, who is from Itu Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, and his 30-year-old wife, are currently at a loss.
He said, “The scan was done but we were not informed that it was conjoined twins. When we were told that the babies were twins, we were all happy. For now, my wife is still in the hospital, although not fully recovered. But she is responding to treatment.”
