The intended victims, Umar Ahmed Barau, 25; Suleman Alhaji-Garba, 20; Williams Dadung, 32; and Stanley Ezekiel, 27, were reportedly lured with promises of N2 million each for their kidneys.
The Nasarawa State Police Command has apprehended a suspected organ trafficker and rescued four potential victims in Lafia, the state capital.
The State Commissioner of Police, CP Shettima Mohammed Jauro, who disclosed this on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 said that the 40-year-old suspect Maro Ebojoh was apprehended at Yahaya Sabo Motor Park, Bukan Sidi, while allegedly preparing to harvest the kidneys of four young men.
The intended victims, Umar Ahmed Barau, 25; Suleman Alhaji-Garba, 20; Williams Dadung, 32; and Stanley Ezekiel, 27, were reportedly lured with promises of N2 million each for their kidneys.
The suspects had already made an initial deposit of N500,000 to entice the victims.
“The command detailed operatives to the facility where the organ harvest was to occur. The victims were placed on medical rest at a hotel to stabilise one individual’s blood pressure before further screening,” CP Jauro said.
He added that the victims were later sent to a medical facility in Abuja for assessment.
The suspect reportedly confessed to the crime, admitting that he had previously procured a donor for another client two months ago, receiving N1 million while paying the victim N2.5 million.
CP Jauro urged the public to remain vigilant, warning against individuals masquerading as legitimate organ donors, particularly with the festive season approaching
He noted that organ harvesting remains a growing menace in Nasarawa, often preying on poor youths who engage in menial jobs to survive.
