They share a liver and did not come with anuses for the excretion of wastes.
They were moved to the National Hospital, Abuja, where they stayed 7-8 months without undergoing a surgery because the funding for it could not be raised.
The National Hospital had done such surgery in the past.
The Saudi Consul, Khalil Ahmed Al-Adamawi, whose attention was drawn to the humanitarian situation, successfully got the support of the King Salman Foundation.
