First it was the birth of a baby with a mini-Quran in Mushin area of Lagos state, now another has occured in Sagamu, Ogun State as a woman purportedly delivered a baby boy with an Islamic rosary otherwise known as Tesbeu. Investigation by Sunday Sun revealed that the boy was delivered on Tuesday at Rotoluwa Maternity Home along Aiyepe road at about 11.45pm.
Mrs Gbemisola Hamsat, a 35-year-old mother of five,was said to have been delivered of the baby and the rosary. Expectedly, the strange delivery has turned their No.2 Odujoko Street, off Prison road residence into a Mecca of sorts as people thronged the area to confirm the tale. The Matron of the Maternity Home, Mrs. Sarah Olurotimi Oloyede, a traditional birth attendant confirmed that she took the delivery of the somewhat strange child.She said the boy was held on to the rosary and did not allow anyone to remove it from him despite that he was yet to open his eyes. The baby’s mother said she is a Christian while her husband is a Muslim and expressed surprise at the development. Father of the baby,45-year-old Mr Idris Hamsat, said the wonderful delivery of his son helped to confirm his faith in Allah, saying, “Allah is indeed righteous and good”. Chief Imam of Remoland, Alhaji Anofi Adeyemi Allinson who doubles as the Ogun State President of League of Imams and Alphas likened the wonder birth to the visit of Prophet Musa to Medina where Allah sent his light to herald his visit.
