He said, however, that the surgical procedure to separate them would not be carried out immediately.

“It won’t be done until after some months,” he said, adding that the twins need to grow some more before the procedure could take place.

The Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Adamu Dogo, who was contacted on the ages of the conjoined twins, said they were just a few months old.

“We can’t say much on these children. We do not publicise these issues until we have finished the procedure. We must avoid undue attention on the babies and their parents,” the hospital image maker said.

If the surgical procedure eventually takes place, it will be the third time since 2014 that the hospital would separate conjoined twins.
