Photo of a baby born in Ibadan clutching Holy Quran.

A renowned Islamic preacher based in Ibadan, Oyo

State, Dr Dawood Amoo, has described the birth of a baby boy clutching a pocket-size Qur'an as one of the signs of Allah.
In an interview with journalists in Ibadan, Amoo said development was not strange, the boy
named Ismail was unique as the saidminiQur'an contained all the 114 chapters in the holy book.
The preacher testified that he was one of the earliest callers at the Owode/Academy, Ibadan residence of the parents of the baby to witness one of God's wonders.

The mother, Jelilah, gave birth in a church at
Oniyanrin area of the city, where the baby was seen clutching a strange object in his left hand.
"The woman, who took the delivery, thought it wasone of the devilish drugs used by the mother to terminate the pregnancy, hence she threw it in the dustbin,"
Amoo said that the said object, which later turned out to be a pocket-size Qur'an, was wrapped in a thread.
He said that with the forceful removal of the object from its hand, the baby became restless and continued to clutch an empty fist.

"Following his restlessness, a local cleric advised them to go and bring what they took from the baby which later turnout to be a copy of the mini Qur'an."

"They were all afraid to touch it until I got there and I had to remove the remaining thread on the object and to my surprise, it was a beautifully- designed pocket-size complete noble Qur'an," Amoo Said.

He said although the Qur'an was small, the lettering

inside was readable and complete from chapter one

to chapter 114 of the holy book.
people had since turned the residence into a meccaof sort. Jelilah, the elated mother of the baby, said since September, when the baby was born, nobody could

take the Qur'anaway from him, as he would be
restless until he clutched it ..
The father of the baby, identified simply as Semiu, said he thanked Allah for the blessings, saying it was an indication that Allah wanted them back in the fold of Islam.

Semiu, a driver, said paucity of funds has caused his wife to put to bed at a nearby church, as they were both not practising any faith.

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday attended the funeral mass in honour of the late former Governor of Lagos, Michael Otedola and former President, Olusegun Obasanjo was there as well. When it was time for Jonathan to leave the venue, Chief Obasanjo escorted him out and the duo obviously engaged in an intense discussion as can be seen from the president’s expression. Reports have it that Obasanjo took the chance to advice the president on a matter of national security. The former president recently met with people believed to be close to the terrorist sect, Boko Haram in an attempt to secure the release of the over 200 girls who have been in captivity for 46 days. Obasanjo has however said that he cannot act without the approval of President Jonathan. See photo below:
