He highlighted one such case in Achusa village, Makurdi, where a victim’s body was found wrapped in a hotel blanket after organ harvesting.

Another case involved a young girl whose legs were broken before her organs were taken, and her body was discarded in Makurdi’s Welfare Quarters.

Asemenya also shared the case of Godwin Obite, a man kidnapped by organ harvesters in Abuja and transported to Makurdi.

Fortunately, he was rescued after the criminals, spooked by the presence of security forces during the #EndBadGovernance protests, abandoned him.

Asemenya urged security agencies to intensify their efforts to combat the growing threat, particularly to protect the lives of young people across the country.

In response, FRSC Assistant Corps Marshal Yusuf Haruna Mcilt warned the public to be cautious at accident scenes and not allow unknown individuals to transport victims to hospitals.

He emphasised the importance of contacting the proper emergency services and noted that FRSC officers always transported victims to known or government hospitals.
