It a spectacle of sorts on Sunday at Kaduna Central Market when a pregnant mentally-challenged woman widely as Hassana went into labor in the full glare of the public.
Passers-by watched in awe as some women formed a ring around Hassana, with one of them playing the midwife.
According to an eyewitness, Hassana has been wandering around the market for several years.
“She has been going around in tattered clothes, scavenging for food in this market.
“Now, someone has impregnated her and God has helped her to get a fine baby boy. Many people are looking for this blessing, but he chose to give it to a woman who is not even in her senses. And the father seems not to exist,” he said.
Vanguard reports that Ibrahima Yakubu, a journalist with Deutsche Welles, DW, who was at the market at the time of the childbirth gave out some money to convey mother and child to the Yusuf Danstoho Memorial Hospital, Tudun Wada, Kaduna, for proper medical attention .
She then contacted Senator Shehu Sani who represents Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone in the National Assembly. The Senator brought some gifts to mother and child, aside paying the hospital bill.
Other well-meaning Nigerians also brought gifts including diapers, clothing , food and infant formula.
