Generally the pregnancy period of women is about 9 months. But such a case has come to light, in which a woman claimed that she was pregnant for about 15 months. Officials and doctors are suspecting a big scam behind this. The reasons behind this are being investigated. It is believed that child theft may also be involved in this scam. This woman named Chioma is adamant that the child named Hope is hers. Whom she gave birth to after being pregnant for about 15 months.
According to a BBC report, this scam in Nigeria is being investigated. Government officials do not agree with the woman and believe that such a claim is not an ordinary matter. Government officials are no longer considering the baby named Hope as woman Chioma’s biological child, as Chioma and her husband Ike claim. Chioma claims that she kept the child in her womb for about 15 months. Government officials are unable to believe the absurdity of the Ike family’s claim.
Chioma says she faced pressure from Ike’s family to conceive. In her desperation, she went to a ‘clinic’ that was offering an unconventional ‘treatment’. A bizarre and disturbing scam that involves baby trafficking preys on women desperate to become mothers. Officials are investigating this secret pregnancy scam. The names of Chioma, Ike and others in this article have been changed. So that they can be protected from retaliation in their communities.
