Former Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, Julie Okah-Donli, has alleged that some women fake pregnancies using steroids and later obtain babies to deceive their husbands into believing they gave birth.
Okah-Donli made the claim in a resurfaced interview on Tuesday during an appearance on the Kaa Truths Podcast, where she spoke about alleged fake pregnancy syndicates and baby trafficking in Nigeria.
According to her, women involved in the practice are allegedly injected with steroids that make them appear heavily pregnant.
“They are injected with steroids. So when they inject them with these steroids, it gives them the semblance of a pregnant woman. Their faces are bloated up, and their tummies are actually very big. They look pregnant, but they are not pregnant,” she said.
