Former NAPTIP Director-General Julie Okah-Donli says some women allegedly use drugs and deception to obtain babies while misleading their husbands. In an interview referenced by outlets after a clip resurfaced in July 2026, Okah-Donli claims that certain women use steroids to simulate pregnancy, then go on to purchase babies instead of giving birth. She also alleges that the women create physical signs intended to make the situation resemble childbirth, including scars that they say would mimic a caesarean section. The reports present her statements as allegations made during the podcast interview. The outlets do not provide independent verification of the claims or specific cases, but they describe the broader accusation that such practices involve faking pregnancy and using purchased babies to deceive spouses. Okah-Donli’s remarks are framed as commentary on trafficking-related deception rather than as an account tied to particular prosecutions. The story is therefore focused on the former official’s claims rather than confirmed investigations or court findings.
