Speaking to the media, she claimed that the accused, Latifa Salifu, is a mother of two who recently moved into the neighbourhood to live with her husband as a second wife.
The young lady then added that Latifa Salifu’s decision to go in for someone else’s child was allegedly borne out of the desire to impress her husband, whom she had recently married.
The young lady claimed that Latifa Salifu vowed to name her child after her because of how well she related to the kids.
"According to what I heard, her husband already has a first wife who has a child, but efforts with the second wife have been an issue. That is all the more reason why he married Latifa. Therefore, Latifa wanted to make the husband proud by giving birth to him. She even talked about naming her child if she gave birth on a Thursday."
