Thousands of people trooped to a private maternity
home in Kotaworo area of Bida, in Niger state on
Sunday to catch a glimpse of a baby girl said to have
been delivered with a Muslim prayer Rosary
(Tasabih) on her neck.


The middle aged mother of the baby, Adijat was said to
have been rushed to a local midwife home near the
residence of Pa Mohammed Bello Masaba, the Polygamist at
about 2 pm on Sunday and after minutes of labour, she was
delivered of the baby.

According the owner of the local maternity home, Alhaji
Abubakar Baiwa Shasha who took delivery of the baby, "I
was shocked when in the course of the delivery the baby
came with a Chisbih on her neck. The baby was born with a
black rosary at delivery point."
"But I was surprised when after a while the rosary turned to
white to the amazement of the few people around."

As soon as the news spread round the town, thousands
trooped to the the maternity home shouting "Allahu Akibar;
Allahu Akibar (God is Great) as they scrambled to see and
touch the baby. "
Efforts to get the father of the baby, Isah, a native of Loma in
Kwara State were fruitless as he refused to talk to our
Correspondent.

An Islamic scholar, Malam Idiris Ndajiwo said the delivery of
the baby with the mysterious rosary "showed the greatness
of Allah. The delivery of the baby today, in this town and
this area (Kutaworo) is a big thing to us Muslims. This
actually goes to show that Allah is in control of what
happens to any one and in the whole world."

Another well wisher and the Personal Assistant to popular
Islamic scholar, Pa Mohammed Bello Masaba, the
octogenarian super polygamist, Alhaji Muktari Salau Bello
said, "we have never witnessed such kind of miracle before
in this town, but we thanked Allah for what He has done. In
fact what happened is a miracle and we are very happy
about it".

The baby was later taken to the Etsu Nupe's palace where
they were received and blessed by the royal father , Alhaji
Yahaya Abubukar.

Confirming the delivery of the mysterious girl when
contacted on phone, the Emirate Secretary Alhaji Abdulmalik
Usman said, "it is true. The baby was brought to the Palace
and she was received and blessed by His royal highness, the
Etsu Nupe and they have since left for their home. "
