Two babies Stolen in Imo StateTheir joy knew no bounds as the family of Mr and Mrs Daniel Duruji as well as 24 years old Vivien Iwuji reunited with their 2 week old babies who were kidnapped few hours after they were born.

While presenting the babies back to their parents at the Imo State Police Command Headquarters in Owerri, the Imo State capital, the state police commissioner, Abdulmajid Ali, vowed that the Imo State Police Command would not rest until the issue of child stealing and child trafficking were brought to its barest minimal.

The Imo police boss said that three suspects had been arrested in connection to the incident and they are presently cooling their feet in the police cell as investigations are ongoing.

While narrating the incidence, the head of the anti-human trafficking unit of the Imo police command, Mrs Elizabeth Okosun, said the police were able to recover one of the babies after a tip-off by a commercial tricycle rider who suspected the shady behaviour of the suspects when they were about travelling with the baby to another state.

Vivien Iwuji , a 24 year old student, said that she was deceived by her sister-in-law that a family friend will take care of her baby after delivery not knowing she had the intention of selling her baby.

The Imo Police commission appealed to religious and community leaders to furnish the police with adequate information if any woman or family without a history of a recent pregnancy was seen with a newborn baby.

Two hundred years after the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the trafficking of African children continues unabated. This is one of the most horrific violations of a child’s right. Trafficking can be defined as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of a child for the purpose of exploitation”. Reasons for trafficking children include: sexual exploitation, forced labour and/or slavery, domestic servitude, forced marriages, illegal adoptions, and even forced organ removal or human sacrifice.

Nigeria acts as a source, transit and destination country for trafficking children to Europe, the Middle East and other countries throughout Africa. UNICEF has estimated that over 1.2 million children worldwide are trafficked each year. The highest rates of child trafficking in Nigeria are found in the Niger Delta region, according to research by NAPTIP, the Nigerian Anti-Trafficking Agency.

who were kidnapped few hours after they were born.

Sharperly.


9ja will be better begins with you and I.

Man's inhumanity to man, i remember that latin adage back then in the seminary "homo lupi homine est" (man is wolf to man) which makes me to wonder if God really created man in His own image? Because man as he was and as he is now does not have a pinch of love which God is. If not for the social contract, man could have fallen to the level of Animals beasts, coz animals dont eat/hurt their kind.

Imo my Imo, my people my people.....unu okuola nkwu?

Hmm stealing peoples baby. Why now. Is he trying to tell us that he is in a better position to provide for the kids?
See fine pikin wey dem go thief.
9ja be thieving kidney, blockus, baby, and everything

Well done Imo Police Command for not dismissing the commercial tricycle driver as usual instead they followed up whit a proper investigation.
Well done the driver for going extra mile to confirm your suspicion, u could ve said "wetin concern me" like many Nigerian but now u ve saved this innocent baby.
This is really pathetic, what re they going to do with a 2 months old baby? if they need one, while not go 2ru d necessary rigorous process of adopting one. Indeed "evil thrive when good men seat down and do nothing" as would ve been the case here.

Good news

They were stolen few hours after they were born, and now they are 2weeks old, how will each parent know their pikin, cos I can't read where NPF carried out DNA test to know which baby belongs.
