ALFRED OLUFEMI discovers locations inside Lagos markets where traditional medicine dealers benefit from enabling unsafe abortion for adolescents by pretending to be a helpless young guy desperate to have an abortion for his 17-year-old fiancée. The results of laboratory examinations of herbal roots and other materials purchased from marketplaces reveal large concentrations of hazardous components that have the potential to seriously harm one’s health and render them permanently incapacitated.

Every year, millions of teenage girls risk early mortality by having unsafe abortions. A number of them, who narrowly avoid death, later experience severe health issues or endure traumatic experiences that last a lifetime.

Similar to sex, abortion is not frequently discussed in public since it goes against society norms and religious beliefs and is considered sacrilegious.

Every worried parent’s worst dread and greatest anxiety is teen pregnancy.

The greatest risk for a teenage girl caught in the web, which is typically a life-changing experience, is trying to have an abortion illegally, especially from quacks because they are thought to be quick with the medical procedure, clandestine, and inexpensive.

According to reports, untrained physicians apparently perform thousands of illegal abortions each year, frequently at the expense of the lives and health of the women involved.

Nigerian law prohibits abortions, which can result in lengthy prison terms of up to 14 years, unless they are necessary to preserve the woman’s life.

Punitive sanctions are specifically outlined in Section 230 of the Criminal Code Act, Chapter 77 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990, for anybody who provides medications or equipment to facilitate abortions.
