The people of Oda village at Nnorie/Ohekelem Autonomous community in Ngor/Okpala Local Government Area, were thrown into confusion last Monday as one of the women in the community (names withheld) gave birth to a monster.
The young lady petty trader, who is married to a youthful Barber who operates his shop at Ekeukwu Nnorie market gave birth to the “Baby” at a prayer House located inAba, Abia state.
According to impeccable source close to the family, the lady has been pregnant now for nine months, with her first baby.
However, when it gets to the period of her delivery, the husband decided to take her to a prayer House inAba, following complaints from the wife who said she was experiencing strange “Kicking” from the “Baby” which seemed abnormal from the normal kicks from unborn babies.
Since the husband has relatives inAba, he felt happy to send the wife there, and returned back to the village for his barbing business, awaiting for signal for her delivery.
The expectant father was happy when a call came fromAbathat his wife has been delivered of a baby. But he became apprehensive when his simple question to know if the baby was a female or a male was answered “when you come”.
The young man raced toAbaand was ushered in at the prayer House to see his child only to behold an indescribable creature lying on the bed.
According to sources, the “baby” had one eye at the centre, with no ears but big head, and hands and legs of a matured dwarf, with bears on its chins.
The man immediately decided to take the “baby” to the village to show his people what the wife was delivered of.
As he got home with the creature, he alerted a few people, whose shouts attracted more crowd.
As the crowd increased, the monster threw every body into different directions, when it got up from the bed and took to its heel.
But those who marshaled the courage pursued and caught it, as its shorts legs could not take it too fast and far.
And instantly, the mob gave it a jungle justice.
When Imo Trumpeta visited the family at Ohekelem community, the father was seen attending to visitors who came to confirm the strange development.
Even though he refused to speak to this Newspaper, those around confirmed the story.
However, the mother who sources said swore that her “baby” was swapped spiritually in the womb by her enemies, has gone into hiding as Imo Trumpeta’s efforts to trace her proved abortive.
