Hassana, 22, gave birth to a baby boy in broad daylight at Kaduna
Central Market, yesterday, while hundreds of people watched her. Some
women formed a circle around her, while one of them played the
role of a midwife.
She had wandered around the market for years until she was spotted
with pregnancy, towards the end of 2015. A trader at the market says
Hassana always moves around in tattered clothes, scavenging for food
around the market.
Ibrahima Yakubu, a journalist with Deutsche Welles, DW, who was at
the market at the time quickly provided money to convey both mother and
child to the Yusuf Danstoho Memorial Hospital, Tudun Wada, Kaduna, for
proper medical assistance.
He then contacted the Senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial
disctrict, Senator Shehu Sani, who made some donations and also paid the
hospital bills. Some well meaning Nigerians also made donations.
