Conjoined twin boys who were attached at the abdomen have been separated after an Instagram post went viral.
The babies, who have not been named, were born in June in Abuja, Nigeria.
Their fatherlost his job as an estate valuer shortly before his wife Courage, 31, gave birth to a stillborn last year.
After quickly becoming pregnant again, the couple discovered they were expecting twins during her eight-month scan but only learned they were conjoined when the babies were delivered.
The devastated parents were told the twins would be strong enough to undergo separation surgery in a few months but at a cost of around £1,680.
Once the babies turned four months old, their surgeon posted a picture of them on social media, which raised the money in just 10 minutes.
The several hour-long operation was carried out on Monday and the operation was successful. The twins are said to be doing well.
