The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of
Yusjib Industrial Medicare, Ilorin, Dr Yusuf Abdulraheem, says he has
discovered a young lady that has been faking pregnancy for close to nine
months. Abdulraheem told newsmen on Tuesday in Ilorin that he discovered that
the lady used clothing as a disguise for the pregnancy by stuffing them under
her normal clothes to make her appear pregnant. According to the doctor, he
made the discovery while trying to examine the lady who is in her early
twenties. He said that the lady identified herself as Azeezat Abubakar. The CMD
said that the lady who was brought to the hospital for delivery, identified
herself as Azeezat Abubakar. He added that he became suspicious when she
refused to be examined. “She has been using my hospital name to claim money at
home, telling her family she is doing her ante-natal in Yusjib. “When her
family brought her, I noticed that i had never seen her face before, but for
the benefit of doubt, I told her to remove her folder which she could not
locate. “In the absence of one, I opened a new folder for her; I requested she
come to the couch for examination only for her to be squatting. “It was her mother-in-law
who forced her to the couch and as I tried to examine her tommy, I discovered
it was clothes she padded there’’, Abdulraheem said. The doctor condemned the
incident and urged mothers to monitor their young girls with closely. He also
wondered why the mother-in-law did not discover the fake pregnancy for close to
nine months. All efforts to reach the family for comments proved abortive as
they were not returning calls or text messages
