A student of the Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Vivian Iwuji and her boyfriend, Obinna Ugochukwu has been arrested by the police for selling their new born baby boy to one Ehegalara Edwin for N620,000 after complaining of being broke. Luck however ran out of them when the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of the Imo State Police Command, Owerri got a hint and swung into action. They arrested the culprits and the baby was rescued.
Vivian’s father, Mr Patrick Iwuji was the one that reported the case to the police after her daughter gave birth on the 2nd of August, 2014 and she couldn’t give a proper explanation of the where about of the baby.
“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,” he said.
