A Mysterious baby girl born at Twifo Bonsaho in the Twifo Atti-morkwa district of central region has raised a talking point among the people in the area.
This baby girl was born without legs by an 18 year old Grace Addobea. That is her first born.
According to the mother of this legless baby, during her pregnancy period she received her ante natal care treatment at Wassa Ateiku health center. In her 9th month when she attended the ante natal, she was told that she did not have enough blood to ensure safe delivery so they referred her to Christian hospital popularly known as “church” also at Wassa Ateiku where the doctor after medical assessment told her that the baby was coming with its buttocks so they have to perform a surgery to deliver the baby when her time is due for delivery.
Addobea recounted that graciously, just three days from the hospital, she was delivered at home by a traditional midwife at their village.
Shockingly, she gave birth to a legless baby girl.
Since then, she has tried severally to kill the baby and herself because everybody in the community is taking evil about her and her family but it took the interventions of her parents to stop her.
