This case report presents a unique and intriguing clinical scenario involving an incorrect copper T insertion following a caesarean section. The case presented the importance of training in the right technique for intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD) insertions in peripheral health facilities and the potential risks associated with inappropriate procedures.
