A Nigerian Facebook user, Babangida Ruma, has raised alarm over alleged illegal organ harvesting in Kaduna and other states. 

Mr Ruma, who disclosed this in a Facebook post on Sunday, February 4, 2024, claims that some persons kidnap children, call their parents to inform them that they would remove the children’s kidneys and give them money to buy drugs before releasing them. 

“I have heard that children are being kidnapped especially girls to remove their kidneys. They’ll call your family that it’s not your daughter’s kidnapping but we will remove her kidney and give her money for medicine. This is happening in Kaduna and other states. May Allah protect us and our families,” he wrote.
