There was confusion in Ogudu area of Lagos State capital after a woman delivered a baby girl with two heads.
The baby has two heads with oxygen tube strapped on each. She equally has a neck, chest, two legs and two hands.
Doctors at Med-In Specialist Hospital, Osogbo Street, who took the delivery, said the baby was born around 6:30pm on Tuesday through an elective caesarean section.
The Nation reports that at the hospital on Wednesday, the baby was resuscitated and transferred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) for advance care.
