Kids 4 sale

Terrorist group/army Boko Haram has forcibly taken a land area roughly the size of Belgium in northern Nigeria. They attack villages, raid schools, kidnap and murder, with one of the results being that a lot of people have lost their homes and so are displaced - about a million.

Half of them are children, many orphaned and living in refugee camps. They are vulnerable.

In response to a news tip, a CNN journalist and her team posed as customers to investigate whether trafficking was taking place. They got in touch with someone in the camps who sells kids, and negotiated a price of $500 for two children. Here is her story.
