Quack doctor amputates newborn child's hand after assuming he died in his mother's womb, only for him to eventually survive

An avoidable error by a supposed medical doctor has resulted in a baby losing one of its hand.

According to the story shared by a Facebook user, a man had taken his brother's wife to the hospital to deliver her baby. However, on getting there the doctor arrived at the conclusion that the baby was dead and sought the permission of the brother-in-law to amputate the child's hand so as to save the woman's life.

Turns out the baby was not dead and the child will have to live without a limb due to a doctor's mistake. The incident, which happened in northern Nigeria, has led a lot of people to call for further investigation because the story does not add up.
