In a tragic development, Alhaji Ibrahim Ejibade, a resident of William Street in Jos North local government area of Plateau State, has passed away amidst allegations of organ harvesting. The late Ejibade’s family claims that he fell victim to organ theft at Murna Clinic and Maternity in Jos.
The deceased had previously accused Mr. Norah Kekere of kidney theft following a hernia surgery conducted by Kekere in 2021. According to Ejibade’s family, his health had been unstable since the surgery, and he accused Kekere of removing his right kidney in September of the same year. (Read Here)
Kekere was subsequently taken into custody after similar allegations were made against him, including the case of Mrs. Kehinde Kamal, whose kidney was allegedly removed during a procedure in 2018.
Following the accusations, the Plateau State Ministry of Justice filed a lawsuit against Mr. Kekere on behalf of both Ejibade and Kehinde Kamal, who had accused him of organ harvesting. Despite his declining health, Ejibade continued to attend court hearings related to the case.
Confirming Ejibade’s death, his son, Muhammad Sani, stated that his father passed away on Wednesday evening and was buried according to Islamic rites. Sani expressed frustration over his father’s deteriorating health, revealing that a scan conducted at Jos University Teaching Hospital revealed that his left kidney was missing.
As the investigation unfolds, Mr. Noah Kekere and his alleged collaborators, Dr. Philip Dachung and Yusuf Abduallahi, a staff member of Murna Clinic, are currently awaiting trial after being granted bail. The case has sparked outrage and raised concerns about medical malpractice and patient safety in the region.
