The report said many girls below the age of 15 were forced
into prostitution due to “poverty, illiteracy and poor parental care” in the
community.
According to the report, young girls who visited the clinic
were matched with men who took advantage of them for N5,000.
The report said the girls were forced to return to the
facility for an abortion when they got pregnant and made to pay the same amount
for the procedure.

In the report, a source identified as Khadija said she
visited the clinic with her friend Halima for an abortion.
While Khadija survived the operation, her friend died after
she suffered some complications.
“After some months, I noticed that I was pregnant, so I went
back to Dr. Ali and he aborted the pregnancy for me. I suffered from stomach
pain for months. I nearly died before I got myself back,” she told the
reporter.
“A few months later, a friend of mine, Halima went to him to
abort her pregnancy and in the process of the abortion, she got some
complications and died.”
Many victims who spoke with the reporter talked anonymously
so as not to “lose business deals” with Madida.
The report said Madida had been arrested by law enforcement
agencies many times but was later released.
Speaking during the virtual press conference on the
investigative report, Toun Sanaiya, chief executive officer (CEO) of Women
Radio Centre, commended the reporter for her “bravery and audacity” in
uncovering the crimes.
Taiwo Adeleye, the project officer of the centre, said
relevant authorities have assured that Madida would be arrested and his license
would be revoked.
Adeleye added that Madida is already renovating the
“unregistered clinic”.
