The Sito Central Mosque home of a couple on Seme Border Road,
Mosafejo, Badagry, has become a Mecca of sorts following claims of the
delivery last week of a baby boy with a circumcised penis.
A 30-year-old woman, Mrs Raimo Mafus, had on June 6 been delivered of the baby at the Convalescence Maternity Home, Mosafejo, near Badagry.
The father of the baby, Mr Mohammed Mafus, 46, told NAN that an imam, Malam Sani from Katsina State, had foretold the birth of a "wonderful child".
"The imam, who is my friend, had told my wife sometime ago that she would soon have a great baby," he said.
He said he could not afford ante-natal expenses at the General Hospital, Badagry, and therefore, took his wife to the maternity home where an auxiliary nurse, Miss Oluwayemisi Obalola, took delivery of the baby.
Mrs Mafus said that during pregnancy, she usually saw a series of signs.
"When I am sitting down, I will be seeing stars surrounding me both in the day and at night. Also, I had pains in my right eye which disappeared the moment I delivered," she said. The auxiliary nurse, Obalola, described the birth of the baby as strange.
"That was the way I saw the baby coming out of the womb and it was strange to me because I know that even though I have not seen such before, I have been hearing of it," Obalola said.
She, however, described it as one of the signs of the end-times which Jesus had predicted in the Bible.
