In a remarkable and intriguing incident that has left many in awe, a mentally deranged woman living around Aarinoye Itesiwaju Market in Oyo State, Nigeria, gave birth to a healthy baby boy without any medical assistance or prenatal care.
The woman, whose relatives are unknown, was known to locals in the area around the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS) Oke Ogun FM station. Despite her visible pregnancy, no one knew who the father was.
According to eyewitnesses, the woman delivered the baby effortlessly at around 5 am on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, with no complications.
The placenta was also delivered without any issues. What makes this incident even more astonishing is that the baby appears to be perfectly healthy, with no visible signs of distress or complications despite the lack of medical care during the pregnancy.
The police were alerted to the situation through a distress call from residents in the area.
The District Crime Officer, Obhakhoboh Joel, responded promptly and ensured that the mother and child were taken to the hospital for medical attention and care.
The circumstances surrounding the woman’s pregnancy were marked by a stark contrast to the typical care expected for an expectant mother.
Ireport247news authoritatively report that, during her pregnancy, the woman’s diet consisted mainly of junks and leftovers, raising concerns about the potential impact on her health and the development of the baby.
Her eating habits were far removed from the nutritious diet usually recommended for pregnant women. What was even more alarming was her resistance to consuming clean water.
Despite the availability of clean drinking water, she would often opt for dirty gutter water instead. This behavior posed significant health risks not only to herself but also to the unborn child. The fact that the baby appears healthy despite these conditions has sparked a mix of amazement and concern among locals.
Furthermore, the woman’s living conditions were harsh, as she would often sleep on bare ground, even during heavy rains. Her resilience in the face of such challenging circumstances is noteworthy.
Despite her deranged mental state, she seemed to move about peacefully, without causing any disturbance to those around her. Her calm demeanor, despite the difficulties she faced, adds another layer of complexity to this remarkable story.
The fact that the baby appears healthy and robust, despite the mother’s unconventional lifestyle and lack of prenatal care, has left medical professionals and locals alike wondering about the factors that contributed to this outcome.
As the police continue to seek out the woman’s family and provide care for the mother and child, the community is grappling with the implications of this extraordinary incident.
This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of community support in times of need.
The baby is currently in the custody of the Divisional Police Station, Itesiwaju Local Government, Otu, as the police try to locate any relatives or family members of the mentally deranged woman.
The police are appealing to anyone with information about the woman’s family or relatives to come forward and assist in caring for the baby.
The DCO has urged members of the community to reach out to the police or the elders of the Aarinoye Itesiwaju Market if they have any information that could help reunite the baby with its family.
