Women with fertility issues in Nigeria are being tricked into parting with hundreds of dollars, duped into believing they’re pregnant, and delivering babies that are often trafficked.

Africa Eye’s undercover investigation exposes one of these scammers, who guarantees results but says delivery won’t happen without payment for an expensive ‘drug’.

This documentary investigates how these scammers prey on women so desperate for a baby that they choose to ignore the reality that is obvious to most. We speak to those who have fallen for this scam, and expose the link to baby trafficking.

Yemisi Adegoke reports on the crippling stigma of infertility in Nigeria and uncovers the criminal networks who profit from it.

  1. Corruption is(and always has been), rife throughout Africa as is witchcraft. I dont think most westerners understand just how deep rooted and inherant these practices really are over there and because its so deeprooted and inherant it's not going to stop anytime soon if at all > this is just a needle in a haystack

  3. My heart dropped, this probably happens in other african countries. This is heartbreaking. Dear African women wrapped in old traditions, please stop being gullible. I am sorry
