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. Her words: “I heard a sound of
something dropping into the bed pan before the placenta came out.
It
sounded as if it was an iron or something with weight that dropped on it and when
I checked it closely, I saw a rosary covered with thick blood’’. Mrs Oloyede
said that when she took the rosary by the ‘tail’ to examine it properly, all
the clotting blood on it fell off leaving the shinning rosary.
A Christian, Oloyede said that t she immediately invited her husband and
some Muslim clerics in the area to come and behold the strange birth by her
Christian patient.

According
to her, the shout of “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) rented the air as hundreds
of people trooped in to behold what happened. According to her, the rosary was
not around the neck of the boy when he was delivered by her mother. She
explained that the birth of the boy was miraculous and mysterious
because a patient who was on the hospital bed for over four days and
was unable to walk and eat, immediately got up and walked,
demanding for food which she ate on hearing the cry of the new baby.

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.

The
Islamic cleric said: “Almighty Allah is sending us signals and message which we
must all understand.” First,it was about a baby born with a miniature of the
Holy Quran and now, a baby boy with Tesbeu.” The Divisional Police Officer
(DPO) for Sagamu Area, Mr. Wale Lawal was said to have led his officers and men
to behold the mystery baby while prominent indigenes in Remo town were said to
have also visited the hospital. In his reaction, the Chief Medical Director of
Ogun State General Hospital, Ijebu Ode, Dr Wellington Ogunsanya said there was
no biological link of the story with the normal conception and baby delivery by
a woman.

According
to him, “such claim could only be possible with the help of a third party who
might have implanted the rosary into the woman while she was un-aware.” He said
that such claims might be due to some women who inserted Intra –Uterine Device
(IUD) through their vaginas into the uterus adding that this may not
necessarily disturb the growth of the baby. Dr Ogunsanya noted that in such
cases, it was possible for the baby during delivery, to hold on to or bring
such an object out of the woman. The medical director said that the case of a
boy and a rosary being born by a woman had no correlation medically.
