A viral video circulating on Wednesday shows a woman accusing medical staff of allegedly withholding one of her twins after delivery, sparking chaos and emotional scenes at a popular hospital in the Ikotun area of Lagos state, Southwest Nigeria.
In the footage shared by AsakyGRN on X, the woman—seen holding a newborn—was filmed shouting at a supposed doctor of the facility identified as Tip-Top Solution hospital while demanding the whereabouts of her second baby.
“Produce my second baby. This is not good enough. I did not come to this hospital to be robbed of my baby,” she was heard screaming in the video.
In the background, individuals who accompanied her were also heard demanding the arrest of hospital staff over allegations of baby trafficking.
The video also displayed an obstetric scan report said to belong to the patient, identified as Blessing Isioma David, 28, dated March 2026, which indicated a twin pregnancy with two foetuses observed.
The report stated, “Twin visible. Twin 1 is an oblique cephalic while Twin 2 is a transverse presentation. Normal cardiac pulsations noted,” adding that “Gender for Twin 1 is XY, while Gender for Twin 2 is XX.”
Reacting to the allegation, the hospital’s medical director, Sunday Babajide, dismissed claims of wrongdoing, insisting that only one baby was delivered and that the scan result was inaccurate.
“The scan was wrong, and she did not do another scan in another centre. It was an error; the scan said two instead of one.
“We invited the husband to the theatre… the husband witnessed that it was one. The woman herself was not asleep; she was awake,” Babajide was quoted as saying to the Peoples Gazette.
The hospital director added that the family was also informed immediately after birth.
Corroborating his claim on the scan, Babajide asserted, “If the scan was done at the early stage… it will clearly show it. But if the scan was done at a later period, an error can occur,” he said, noting that the scan was done at about 20 weeks.
“The mistake we made was that we should have insisted on her doing another scan elsewhere to be doubly sure,” he added.
When contacted, the state police spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, said the Command is aware of the trending video and has commenced an investigation into the matter.
“The Command is aware of the trending video and wishes to inform the public that the matter is currently under investigation. Relevant professional bodies and associations have been contacted and are working in synergy with the Police to get to the root of the situation,” the statement read.
The police added that the Area Commander, Area M, is personally overseeing the case, assuring that findings will be made public.
“The outcome of the investigation will be made public in due course,” it added.
The Command also urged residents to remain calm, noting that the situation is under control.
“Members of the public are hereby urged to remain calm, as the situation is under control,” the statement said.
