A viral video shared on Wednesday shows a woman accusing medical staff of allegedly withholding one of her twins after childbirth, causing tension and emotional scenes at a well-known hospital in the Ikotun area of Lagos State.
In the video posted by AsakyGRN on X, the woman—seen carrying a newborn—was filmed shouting at a doctor at the facility identified as Tip-Top Solution hospital while demanding to know 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 shouting in the clip.
Behind her, individuals who accompanied her were also heard calling for the arrest of hospital staff over claims of baby trafficking.
The video also showed 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.”
Responding to the allegation, the hospital’s medical director, Sunday Babajide, denied any wrongdoing, insisting that only one baby was delivered and that the scan result was incorrect.
“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.
He further maintained that the family was informed immediately after delivery.
Defending the scan result, Babajide said, “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,” noting that the scan was carried out 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.
The police spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed that the Command is aware of the viral video and has begun 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 handling the case and assured that findings will be made public.
“The outcome of the investigation will be made public in due course,” it added.
Residents were also urged to remain calm, with authorities noting that the situation is under control.
