The Chief Medical
Director (CMD) of Yusjib Industrial Medicare, Ilorin, Dr Yusuf Abdulraheem,
says he has discovered a young lady that has been faking pregnancy for close to
nine months. Abdulraheem told newsmen on Tuesday in Ilorin that he
discovered
that the lady used clothing as a disguise for the pregnancy by stuffing them
under her normal clothes to make her appear pregnant.
According to the
doctor, he made the discovery while trying to examine the lady who is in her
early twenties. He said that the lady identified herself as Azeezat Abubakar.
The CMD said that
the lady who was brought to the hospital for delivery, identified herself as
Azeezat Abubakar. He added that he became suspicious when she refused to be
examined.
“She has been using
my hospital name to claim money at home, telling her family she is doing her
ante-natal in Yusjib. When her family brought her, I noticed that i had never
seen her face before, but for the benefit of doubt, I told her to remove her
folder which she could not locate.
“In the absence of
one, I opened a new folder for her; I requested she come to the couch for
examination only for her to be squatting. “It was her mother-in-law who forced
her to the couch and as I tried to examine her tommy, I discovered it was
clothes she padded there’’, Abdulraheem said.
The doctor condemned
the incident and urged mothers to monitor their young girls closely. He also
wondered why the mother-in-law did not discover the fake pregnancy for close to
nine months.
