Actress and new mom, Halima Abubakar who has been trending after a controversial call out from an American mother over her stolen baby’s photo has opened about the truth state of her own baby.
Within Nigeria recalls that the actress who announced that she welcomed a new born on Friday, April 4, 2020, shared a photo of a baby holding someone’s thumb.
As expected, excited Nigerians especially her colleagues assumed that the photo on her announcement was that of her child and began congratulating her, only for an American woman identified on her Instagram handle as the_arielb to slam her for using her photo.
After receiving a heavy backlash on social media, Halima deleted the photo and has now revealed why she used someone else’ baby photo.
She wrote;
“He will be discharged tmr from icu.i didn’t post cos he was premature.God saved him.I just had to post this.
