The boy who stayed in the womb for ten years

Babies are special gifts from God and Okiki Daniel Adetayo is a very special creature of God given the circumstances of his birth.  While most babies stay in the womb between 9-11months or a little more,  Okiki was there for ten years.
As mother was contending with the pain, physical and psychological, societal stigma, and above all the uncertainty of what the fruit would bear for that period, Okiki seemed to be enjoying himself defying all medical and trado-medical examinations. Some of the examination results were negative.  No baby in the womb.
Yet, some confirmed the existence of a baby in her womb but with dangerous consequences.
For nine years, nine months and nine days, the family was on a tortuous and tormenting search for solution.
The mother, Mrs Dorcas Ramota Adetayo, 57, who has carried four other successful pregnancies. She narrated her story to Saturday Vanguard at her Igbe Road, Ikorodu, residence.  “I was 44 years old when I conceived the baby and I gave birth to him in January 14, 2007.   Long after my due date, there was no sign that the baby was coming.
Infact, I went for an ultra-scan, the report began to show that there was no baby in my womb. But when I returned home, I used to feel the movement of the baby and as an experienced mother, I refused to be convinced.”
“I went to the Lagos state University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, and I was told there would be a surgery to evacuate what was in my womb still maintaining that it was no baby, I refused.
