A tradomedical practitioner in Lagos has claimed that a 20-year old woman delivered a tortoise and a baby girl in his clinic.
The woman, Rasheedat Raimi, said she had carried the pregnancy for 10 months before she eventually delivered the baby girl and the tortoise at a trado-medical clinic on Mutairu Street, Off Ijegun Road, outskirts of Lagos.

The owner of the clinic, Shehu Daudu Oseni, said the woman gave birth to the tortoise and the baby girl at 9.49 p.m on Wednesday.
Many orthodox doctors and traditional doctors contacted by P.M.NEWS on the strange delivery quickly dismissed the claim as impossible. Dr. Lawrence Akinsanya said “it is not possible, never, ever”. He said the claim has no basis in the science of reproduction. “It is just not scientifically possible”, he added.
P.M.NEWS gathered that Rasheedat had gone to Yakafi Trado-medical Nigeria Limited to observe Tahajjud (night vigil) with other pregnant women without any premonition that she was due for delivery.
When P.M.NEWS got to the trado-medical clinic, yesterday and this morning, Rasheedat was found looking pale and tired. She was sleeping on a bed in the clinic while her grandmother, Alhaja Taibat, who sat beside her fanned her.
She was in pains as she talked to P.M.NEWS about the strange delivery. “I came to Yakafi for prayers because of the terrible pains I was having in my stomach. Immediately I got here, prayers were offered and immediately there was a burst of water and blood under me. The tortoise came out with the placenta and the baby came out later. I couldn’t believe my eyes, but I was very weak. I was happy the pain left me. I felt relieved after the delivery. I thank God,” she told P.M.NEWS slowly.
On whether she attended ante-natal clinic before the delivery, the young woman said: ”I carried the pregnancy for 10 months. I did scans several times and nobody told me that I was carrying tortoise in my womb. What they always told me was that I am alright and would deliver at the right time,” she added.

Attempts by P.M.NEWS to know the hospital or the diagnostic centre where she claimed she had several scans proved abortive as she could not remember the name or address of the centre. She could also not mention the names of the doctor or nurses who attended to her at the clinic.
But corroborating her story, the owner of Yakafi Trado-medical Nigeria Limited, Shehu Dauda Oseni, described the delivery as “amazing”.
“This is amazing, but true. She did not register with my clinic for ante-natal. When she came here with her people, she was in pains, we didn’t know she will deliver here. She only came here for Tahajjud prayers (night vigil). We were praying when suddenly she started wriggling. She was in pains.
“I touched her stomach and observed something strange moving inside her. It was a strange thing. I thought it was a lizard but it turned out to be a tortoise. The tortoise tore the placenta into pieces and came out. The baby came out afterwards.
“She fainted after the delivery and we have to revive her with prayers. This is what God can do. She had several scans but nobody told her that he was carrying a tortoise in her womb. God is great,” he declared.
Rasheedat who is still in the hospital has been visited by her husband, in-laws, relatives and neighbours who trooped to the clinic to catch a glimpse of the strange occurance.
In interviews with P.M.NEWS this morning, however, many orthodox and traditional medical practitioners described the claim as impossible.
Dr. Banji Filani of Sound Health Centre, Lagos, described the claim as untrue. “It is not possible. I don’t believe the story. How can a baby and a tortoise co-habit in a woman’s womb? Medically, it is not possible. Traditionally, it is impossible,” he stated.

In his own reaction, Dr. Aberuagba of Aberuagba trado-medical centre countered that the strange birth is possible. “It can happen. It can be done by spiritual manipulations of the foetus. It is the work of dark forces who want to scuttle the birth of the baby but God in his infinite mercy prevented their evil design,” he said.
Another medical doctor, Dr. Rotimi Adesanya said: “The claim is not feasible. More investigations should be conducted on the strange delivery. It is difficult to believe. I don’t believe it can happen,” the Ogun State-based medical practitioner said.
Claims of strange deliveries are common in Nigeria. But such claims have never been verified by the scientific community, allowing beliefs in such miracles to fester.
In 2005, a Russian woman gave birth to a cyclop child ( a cyclop in Greek mythology is a one eyed giant). The cyclop, a female was covered with thick hair; an eye in the center of the head and a trunk that was growing on the head above the eye. Doctors in Russsia then explained that the incredible mutant baby, born pre-term could have arisen from complications during the preganancy, some of them traceable to the use of antibiotics such as tetracycline. Said Dr.Ivan Rylchikov, a specialist: ‘‘The medicine affects the developments of the fetus’ bone and teeth; even a small dose can be dangerous for an unborn child. A cyclop is not viable—they do not live longer than one week. In addition, nature has its own regulator. If the development of the fetus takes an unusual mturn, the probability of a miscarriage increases a lot. This is the way that Mother Nature uses to kill mutants in the womb”.
Doctors in Nigeria are making the same comment on the alleged strange births in suburban Lagos, that the nature has its way of protecting a woman’s womb, with the cervic being shut down once a conceived baby has embedded itself in the mother’s womb. “There is no way the woman would have carried the tortoise in her womb, along with the baby. Because with the cervic closed, there is no way a foreign body would have entered the womb’’, said Dr. Akinsanya.
But Oseni’s nurses who claimed they witnessed the birth affirmed the strange occurrence.
A staff nurse at the clinic who witnessed the delivery, Olaponmile Ajani, said she was there when the delivery took place. She disclosed that Rasheedat had been complaining of severe pains and discomfort in her womb before the delivery.
“The tortoise came out before the baby. It was after several minutes later that the baby now came out.
“Her private part was torn seriously as the tortoise came out. Before then the doctor tried to put his hand into her but the tortoise pulled his hand. By the time it eventually came out we could not believe it, but it was real.”
“The baby was so healthy when she came out because she cried by herself. The baby has no wound or mark. It was a miracle. The tortoise had been feeding on the placenta as it was all torn when it came out.
Other staff of the hospital who witnessed the delivery are Mr. Saheed Soyemi, Mrs. Rasheed, Mrs. Fatimat Useni, Mrs. Aminat
Meanwhile, the hospital has turned into a sort of Mecca to thousands of residents of Ikotun who now throng the clinic to view the strange delivery.

4 December 2009 21:03This Nigeria and her many prophets and immams, na wa o! I will just say that everyone be careful of what to believe because the devil is highly interested iin decieving many and making them captives of his error and weak power. Why is it difficult for the woman to tell where she has carried out scans before now. I beg let us not allow the devil to set focus for us. I see him behind this urgly occurence and I know he is the father of all lies.

This can only happen in nigeria. Let her tell us where she did her scans even if she does’t not know the name of the diagnostic centre she can locate the the place.
The traditional doctor should be arrested for spreading false clam.
Only in niger.

4 December 2009 22:15When will Nigeria develop? What on earth, is a pregnant woman doing in a traditional “doctor’s” clinic. I can’t believe we are reading this type of news in 21st century. Hear the quack talking about women registering for antenatal care in his “hospital”. Are we still surprise that maternal and perinatal mortality are very high in Nigeria. Why can’t government regulate health care, for God’s sake? What is MDCN doing? Collecting doctor’s license fees? Is that why it was set up? In other countries, their medical councils regulate the health care services, but in ours, any body can wake up any day, and set up a hospital, start deceiving people.
She carried the baby for ten months, so what? Many pregnancies go beyond nine months, going by the women’s last menstrual period, so that is not any news.
Nigeria is sick, our president is sick, our health care system is sick, our judiciary is sick, our legislators are sick, what a hell is happening?

4 December 2009 22:55Nothing is impossible with African science.There are many things that are inexplicable because the modern science has no proofs to them.
The day I told some white men that very old cocks in Africa lay eggs, they thought I was going out of my senses. I hope too, that those who operate the trado-medical clinic are not trying to mystify their knowledge of natural herbs for both ante and post -natal.

4 December 2009 23:43juju or no juju…there is no way a tortoise will NOT appear on scans…let her scans be re-examined….the tortoise has been feeding on the placenta…do they know how sealed the uterus is during pregnancy and if the tortoise had bit the placenta, the woman should have bled to death…this na OGBOJU>>>

5 December 2009 00:59I guess it is easy to see the contradiction in this story which may be the explanation for it. She knew she had carried the pregnancy for 10 months and did several scans in places she cannot tell. Yet she had no premonition that she was due for delivery after 9 months at the 10th month. Please look for better story to entertain your readers with…….

5 December 2009 12:37the fact that that she carried the pregnacy for 10 months means nothing o. my wife put to bed about 3 months ago and the pregnacy stayed for 10 months too and when i was worried my mum told me that i stayed almost 11months . so this is not an issue at all.

6 December 2009 01:29There are many mysterious things happen everyday. If one does not have the opportunity to witness or experience it does not make it impossible. I have seen a cock lay an egg, witness a cockroach shed her old body, seen a dead neighbor’s ghost torment his households and other things I need not mention here. This case could be yet another one, never mind the possibility of manipulation by the prayer house in which the tortoise was delivered. Only proper investigation can unravel the mystery.

6 December 2009 02:59Lets know that somethings can’t be proved sciecifically as we Africans are not historically knowledgeable of any science.Whether we like it or not science belongs to the so called ‘whites’ and they proved it sciencifically that there is no ‘GOD’.Please,are they right?So,we Africans believe that there are various gods and the the ‘Supernatural God’ who knows what can never be proven by just mortal beings.What came as news can be possible!It came as a news sometimes ago in the Nothern part of Nigeria where a goat gave birth to human nature creature with a normal goat which was read and seen in the picture and confirmed by the people in that community.

I would have expected serious journalists to inform their readers that they saw the tortoise, they did not. The picture of the tortoise is computer generated. This is the story of a traditional medicine man seeking attention, of two journalists who combine incompetence with fraudulent intent, and of a newspaper low on sales. As for Mr Benjamin Odom, are you really Catholic?

6 December 2009 12:03This things can happen.

Tell me if it is possible for someone to be shot at with AK47 or any other weapon and nothing happens?
If all these are possible, then such cases can also happen only on spiritual attack or manipulation.
God is the greatest.
We should learn to be more closer to God and then we can be save.

Any way they say ‘coni man die coni man buri am.’ Is it not possible for the SSS to arrest the like of Shehu Daudu Oseni, the so-called owner of the hospital. This man is up to something! It could be that the woman gave birth to twin children and he cornered one of them for rituals thereby presenting the strange animal to the family who must have already informed him that the pregnancy was overdue. Cashing on the overdue of the pregnancy, he delivered this tactics.
Another possibility if that he want to collect plenty of money from the poor parents. In which ever case, my humble advise to the mother of this little girl, Rasheedat Raimi and her family, is to take their child and leave the hospital immediately. This evil man should not harm the little girl.

6 December 2009 19:45@Claude,
that is the most plausible explanation. To cover his/her tracks, the “doctor” decided to concoct a tortoise baby. He knows he delivered a set of twins (humans) yet, he’s in the News telling the world of some non-existent miracle. How on earth did a grown tortoise live inside a human being with a human baby in the same small space and the woman did not die, the human baby did not die?
On a sidenote: The fact that PM News are all over this story though, is a thing of wonder.

7 December 2009 02:50simply because people don’t understand the how and why to the occurrence of a phenomenon is not enough reason to discountenance it’s validity or existence.
people who still finds it difficult believing in the existence and the powers beyond our physical senses should take time to learn more about life outside the ones seen by the physical eyes alone…there are powers and existence beyond our physical knowledge..the mere fact that a phenomenon is not provable by science is not and cannot be a valid ground to deny it’s validity. Plato…the great philosopher, said of the witches that the mere fact that we cannot verify their existence by available means does not invalidate their existence.
Just let me say this, i’m not an herbalist or any bad person your imagination may tell you after reading this but i can categorically tell you that changing a foetus into another creature is only a child’s play when it comes to what we know as the dark side of the African science..it can easily be done within a few minutes if the proper incantations are said at the appropriate time.
i’m not surprised to read comments like ‘it’s a lie’ here since most of the responders are lagosians or lagos residents…people from that city are hardly in touch with what is call African science.
pls pm news continue to publish the news, we will continue to learn more about life.

7 December 2009 07:39I will not say it is a ” local yahoo yahoo” or it is real. There is God and there is Satan, Satan can give anything except salvation. And if we believe this, the birth of the tortoise and human could be Satan’s manipulation. I once told a friend one day that if God’s voice came out from the sky to warn man of their evil deed, if we all heard the voice. Nigeria would be the last people to believe it was God that spoke. Because Nigerians hardly believe such stories because of our ways of getting what we want with what we have at all cost not minding the consequence.

7 December 2009 08:36Anything can happen and God can allow anything to happen. But I expected PM News in country like Nigeria to make every investigation with valid proves from all angles before publications. We are in the world of science and technologies that can prove events including lies. I pray God help our cognitives.

emmanuel
7 December 2009 09:56like begets like , if she has given birth to a tortise and a baby girl. this is simple mathematical logic, it ia either she or her husband that is a tortise that is both of them are human tortise

There a machine to determined the lives spans of Tortise. The police should do their job.

I hope the twin (I presume) was not killed for rituals but sold to another woman so that Police can at least return the missing child to the mother and put the scammers in jail where they belong.

7 December 2009 11:55I do not believe in rubbish. In modern age, DNA test should be conducted on the baby girl, the tortoise and the woman. If negative, all those involved should be prosecuted.

THE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS LOW LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE…UNTIL THEY EDUCATE OUR CITIZENS THAT THIS IS THE AGE OF MOBILE PHONES, INTERNET, SPACE, ETC.,..NIGERIANS WILL CONTINUE TO BE SPIRITUAL

7 December 2009 15:02Anything can happen in this world, so people that are saying is a lie should stop saying that at least we’ve heard the nurses that we re there during the delivery let us take it the way it was. My question now is what is going to happen to the tortoise? Is it going to be killed?If they kill the tortoise some thing might happen to the baby or what do you think ? We learnt that the tortoise had been feeding from the baby’s placenta even if the baby is alive what is going to be the fate of the baby in future. The baby needs prayer….

7 December 2009 15:03PLEASE REPORTERS MIND YOUR STATEMENT “HER PRIVAT PART WAS TORN SERIOUSLY AS THE TORTOISE CAME OUT, BEFORE THEN THE DOC TRIED TO PUT HIS HAND INTO HER, BUT THE TORTOISE PULLED HIS HAND. WHAT KIND OF PHRACE IS THAT?
