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.
