Two additional doctors caught in Plateau for organ harvesting

Two additional medical doctors have been apprehended by the Police Command in Plateau State for their alleged involvement in the illegal harvesting of vital human organs. The arrest was made in connection with a suspected quack doctor named Noah Kekere. The Police Public Relations Officer for the command, Alabo Alfred, revealed this information to the News Agency of Nigeria in Jos on Tuesday.

The suspects, along with Kekere, are currently in police custody and are undergoing investigation. Kekere, who is believed to be a fake doctor, was previously arrested on accusations of extracting a woman's kidney during a surgical procedure. The Plateau State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association has distanced itself from Kekere, affirming that investigations have shown he is not a qualified medical practitioner.

Alabo did not disclose the identities of the two newly apprehended individuals. He further mentioned that the State Commissioner of Police would soon establish a committee comprising skilled medical experts to conduct a thorough investigation and examine the woman who claimed that Kekere removed one of her vital organs during surgery. The objective is to determine if there was indeed tampering with the victim's vital organ.

"We have arrested two additional suspects who actually performed the surgery on the woman. We are in contact with the State Ministry of Health and the Nigerian Medical Association to provide us with professionals who can assist us in our investigation. The Commissioner of Police will form a committee of experienced medical experts to thoroughly investigate these allegations and uncover the truth," stated Alabo.

According to NAN reports, Kekere was arrested by the police following a complaint from a businessman named Alhaji Kamal. Kamal accused Kekere of removing one of his wife's kidneys during a surgery conducted in 2018. Kamal explained that his wife, Kehinde, had been suffering from chronic stomach pain for five years and was taken to Kekere's clinic in the Nasarawa Gwom community of Jos North Local Government Area. Kekere diagnosed her with a ruptured appendix and performed an urgent operation accordingly.
