Imagine,
Halima Abubakar went to download another woman’s baby picture just to lie that she has given birth on Instagram,
Now the real mother of the baby is showing receipts.

This is our problem. Halima abubakar never claimed that was her child, she clearly stated that she used the to picture as an illustration of her own state. But our Nigerian side won’t allow her to nurse her baby in peace.
Una doh o.
