Actor: Young Woman1

In July, 2014, Interpol arrested Safia Coulibaly, the wife of a former Director General of the National Lottery of Burkina, at Cotonou, Benin, which is considered both a supplier and a provider country of trafficked children (Anti-Slavery, 2000). Coulibaly was in possession of two babies, one was five and the other was nine days old. Both babies were stolen in Nigeria. Aparently, Safia brought them into Niamey, Niger, where they were supposed to be allocated to wealthy women who were interested on “adopting” (NetAfrique.net, 2014). Source: NetAfrique.net.
