Said he: “We had a successful operation of conjoined female twins (omphilopagus). The development was recorded following a team work from different medical units.”
Speaking on the feat, he said it was a proof that Nigerian doctors were as good as those in other parts of the world.
According to him, rather than travel abroad, Nigerians should obtain medical treatment in Nigeria.
