She wrote: ‘Rahma Haruna a 19 years old girl has passed away on Sunday 25th of December 2016. May Almighty grant her Jannatul Firdaus (Paradise) … amen (sic).’
Rahma, from Kano, northern Nigeria, appeared to be a healthy baby, but she was born with a mystery condition which meant her body stopped developing, even though her head grew to the size of a normal teenager’s.
She is believed to have been in constant pain because of the condition, and needed to be in the plastic bowl in order to keep herself upright.
