Happiness re-counted her experience saying: “During my first pregnancy almost two years
ago, my friend, Zubaida came to me and told me that I should come and stay with
her in a separate room so that when I gave birth, she would take me to Lafia in
Nasarawa state to sell the baby and get capital to start a business. She told
me she had once sold her twins in Abuja but I rejected the idea.”

“When I had the second
pregnancy, Zubaida and her friend came and took me to a room around West of
Mines in Jos and gave me hard drug. I later found myself in my aunt’s room
having delivered a baby. I immediately returned home with my baby and told my
mother who accompanied me to security agents,” She added.
