A woman in Bauchi State, identified as Blessing Samson gave birth to a baby boy without limbs. 

According to reports from Daily independent, a woman in Bauchi State gave birth to a baby boy without limbs. 

The baby, named Chongfilawos, was born on July 4, 2015 in Gudun Sayawa, a suburb of Bauchi metropolis.

Blessing Samson, an indigene of Bogoro local government area (LGA) of the state, gave birth to the baby with only three fingers jutting out from a shriveled arm at home.

In an interview with pressmen, Diana Samson, Blessing’s mother said: “My daughter could not be taken to the clinic to deliver her baby because she experienced labour late in the night. My son Chongfilawos is a blessing from God.

“I called him a blessing child because his birth was easy. When I saw him like this, at first I was not happy but later I prayed and told myself it is the will of God. I love him and I will protect him with everything I have.

“My daughter Blessing was going for ante natal from the house, her labour started late in the night and we had to call a birth attendant to deliver her. At first we were shocked when we saw the child without hands. But as Christians we believe God has purpose for everything so we started thanking God,” Diana said.

She added: “The father of the baby, Jehu Luka, a farmer, lives in our village, Lussa in Bogoro. Luka was away when the baby was born but he came  to check  his  child and left.”

Blessing’s elder brother, Bukata Bukar, also thanked God for the gift of a new-born baby to the family saying: “This baby is a gift from God and we are not sad in the family.”

However, he appealed to well-meaning individuals in the community not to discriminate against the child:
