Undergraduate of Federal Polytechnic Nekede, identified as Vivian Iwuji who  gave birth to a baby boy on August 2, 2014 has with the assistance of her boyfriend, one Obinna Ugochukwu sold the baby for the  sum of  N620,000. However, luck ran out on them as the buyer, one Ehegalara Edwin was arrested by the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of the Imo State Police Command, Owerri and the baby  rescued.



Vivian’s father, Mr Patrick Iwuji told the police that him and his wife were aware that their daughter, Vivian was pregnant. "She told  us that she was going to the hospital  to deliver and when we visited her, we asked her about the baby. She told us that the baby was dead. I didn’t believe  her  and there was no trace  that my daughter’s baby was dead. I had to  report to the  police.

Later the case was transferred  to the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit for investigation. It was there that my own daughter  with her boyfriend confessed that they sold the baby boy  in the sum of N620,000 to one  Ehegalara Edwin."

It was a tear of joy on August 11, 2014 at the Police Headquarters, Owerri when the Commissioner of Police, Mr Abdulmajid  Ali handed over the baby  to Mr. Iwuji.
