Africa Eye goes undercover to expose the fertility scammers targeting Nigerian women and fuelling an underground trade in black market babies. 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, a woman known as Dr Ruth, who guarantees results but says delivery won’t happen without payment for an expensive ‘drug’. The documentary investigates how these scammers prey on women so desperate for a baby that they believe or 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 exposes the criminal networks who profit from it.
