• Many residents go for scans

• Community leaders meet today

AN air of apprehension has gripped residents of Yanshanu community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State as seven more persons who, over the years, underwent surgical operations at Murna Hospital have equally claimed that their kidneys have been harvested by the embattled operator of the clinic, Mr Noah Kekere.

In an interview on Friday, the Chairman, Yanshanu Community Development Association, Alhaji Jamilu Baba, disclosed to Saturday Tribune that all those who had one form of surgical operation or the other at the clinic in the past had been asked to go for tests to confirm the state of their kidneys.

Alhaji Baba said that so far, no fewer than seven people, males and females, have been discovered to have one kidney each with the other missing. He added that other people were still in the process of going for scans based on the report before the community.

“It may interest you that those who went for scans are complaining of the same thing. At the moment, about seven have claimed that only one kidney was found in their bodies after scans. All of them had, at different times, had surgical operations performed on them by the so-called doctor at Murna Clinic,” he said.

The community leader added: “The hospital is called Murna Clinic owned by one man called Dr Noah Kekere, popularly known as Dr Yellow. He has been in this community for over 18 years. The people of this community trusted him and patronised him whenever they were not feeling well.

“But to our great surprise, we learned of his involvement in this unfortunate incident that he operated on a woman about seven years ago when she had an appendicitis. Unfortunately, after the operation, the woman was still complaining of stomach pain. Kekere has been managing her and collecting money from the family.

“After much complaining without any improvement, the husband told her wife to try Jos University Teaching Hospital, where it was discovered after a scan that she had one kidney; that the other one was missing.

“The report came to us and to the entire community as a shock. This man has betrayed the trust the community has in him. I cannot count the number of people in this community that this man has operated on. This incident has caused confusion in the community. Those he had operated on at one time or another are now jittery. We have been advising people that have been coming to us to go for tests at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) and other certified hospitals.

“We are having a community meeting on Saturday (today) to discuss this issue thoroughly and tell other people who have undergone one form of operation or the other there to go for scans.

“The matter has been reported to the DPO in charge of this area and he has transferred the case to the state police headquarters. According to police investigation, the man has confessed that he removed the kidney of that woman (Mrs Kehinde Kamaru), saying that it was the work of the devil. Because of the damage he has done to our community, we petitioned the state Commissioner of Police, asking him to conduct a thorough investigation.

“The community has been so nice to him, but unfortunately, this is how he rewarded us. He had been presenting himself as a qualified medical doctor to the people, but he is not. Police investigation revealed that he has a BSc and a Master’s degree in Economics. We were told that he went to a nursing school but abandoned his programme along the way. He has done a lot of damage to our people.”

Alhaji Baba therefore called on the police to extend their investigation beyond the woman whose case exposed the fake doctor. He emphasised the need to get to the root of the matter to deter others engaging in such a dubious act,” he said.

When Saturday Tribune visited Murna Clinic and Maternity Centre at Yanshanu, the facility was closed and security men manned the gate. A source close to the clinic disclosed that the doctors who assisted him to perform the first victim’s operation have equally been arrested by the police.

The spokesman for the state police command, Alfred Alabo, could not be reached to confirm arrest of the accomplice doctors.

But the suspect, Kekere, is still under investigation at the headquarters of the state police command while his hospital at Yanshanu and others have been sealed off by the security agencies.


NMA intervention

In the meantime, the state chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), during the week, distanced itself from Kekere.

In a statement issued in Jos, the chairman of the NMA in the state, Dr Bapigaan William Audu, and the Public Relations Officer, Dr Istifanus Bintum Bako, said that based on its investigation, Kekere is not a medical doctor.

The statement reads in part: “This is to inform the general public and all concerned that Mr Noah Kekere, who is currently being investigated over allegations of organ harvesting, is not a medical doctor.

“Diligent investigations by the association have revealed that he is a quack pretending to be a doctor.

“Further information will be made available following the conclusion of the investigative processes initiated by the NMA as well as the Nigeria Police, respectively.”

The association called on all and citizens to remain calm, as the association is on top of the issue and is assisting the police to get to the root of the matter.

Saturday Tribune learned that shortly after he was arrested and detained at the police headquarters in Jos, Mr Kekere pretended to have run mad and was rushed to the psychiatric section of JUTH, but he was discharged after it was discovered that there was nothing wrong with him.

Doctor Noah Kekere Arrested For Organ Harvesting ‘Runs Mad’ In Cell

This is one of the greatest wickedness... this man should be given a very painful punishment

Tracka:
This is serious

Oga, there's a secret organization working with Nigerians to harvest kidneys. The stolen kidneys just noticed are no longer within the shores of Nigeria. Many "ritual killings" are actually harvest of both kidneys sir. I don know this since 2018 when, in asaba, along okpanam road,some "yahoo boys" were raided by DSS,female (runs girls) under wears, hair and other accessories were scattered about the house and even the roof. the operatives began to suspect them. their fridge was opened, and they discovered them.I thought it would be publicized and given proper media attention. The siblings of harvesters and other beneficiaries of financial benefits of organ harvesting are on this forum

The whole community should go for scan and those that has visited there should equally go for scan. Most Nigerians are wicked.

Why are people this wicked

T

NMA should have Monitoring and Evaluation team to checkmate all these fake doctors and hospitals. We only do investigation after loss of lives and damages in this country, why?

Na organ theft news dey push now

Hmmm


Codedly, these things are happening in our own Nigeria too

It's really sad.
