The teenage Bauchi prostitute
The teenage commercial sex worker who is now a mother, spoke to OAK TV on how her parent's insistence on her marrying the older man made her abandon home and fled to the notorious Bayan Gari, a slum in Bauchi metropolis tucked behind the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, notorious for prostitution, cheap sex, alcohol, and miscreants.
The teenager revealed to the interviewer how she started the profession two years ago and she had a baby for one of her customers in the process.
