The Plateau State Police Command has arrested two other medical doctors in connection with the alleged harvesting of vital human organs by suspected fake doctor, named\u00a0 Noah Kekere.<\/p>\n

The command\u2019s Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Alabo Alfred, disclosed this on Tuesday in Jos, the Plateau State capital.<\/p>\n

Alabo said that the suspects, alongside Kekere, were currently in Police custody and were being investigated.<\/p>\n

Kekere, was recently arrested after he was accused of harvesting a woman\u2019s kidney during surgery.<\/p>\n

The Plateau Chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association had dissociated itself from Kekere, insisting that investigations had revealed that he was not a medical doctor.<\/p>\n

Alabo, who did not disclose the identity of the two suspects, added that the Commissioner of Police in the state would soon constitute a high-powered committee of medical experts, to extensively investigate and examine the woman who claimed Kekere removed one of her vital organs during a surgery.<\/p>\n

The PPRO said that the move would enable the command to ascertain if truly the vital organ of the victim was tampered with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have arrested two additional suspects who actually conducted the surgery on the said woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in touch with the Ministry of Health in the state and the NMA, to give us some professionals that will assist us in our investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commissioner of Police will constitute a committee of seasoned medical experts to look into these allegations with a view to getting to the root of the matter,\u201d Alabo said.<\/p>\n

He further explained that investigation so far had revealed that Kekere was not a trained medical doctor as he had been parading himself.<\/p>\n

Kekere was arrested by the police after a businessman, one Alhaji Kamal, accused him of removing one of his wife\u2019s kidney during surgery in 2018.<\/p>\n

Kamal said that his wife, Kehinde, who had been suffering from chronic stomach pain for five years, was rushed to Kekere\u2019s clinic located in the Nasarawa Gwom Community of Jos North Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

According to him, Kekere carried out a medical diagnosis on his wife and concluded that she had ruptured appendicitis and needed urgent surgery which led to an operation.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
