Samuel Ezekiel, a 22-year-old man, had his kidney removed without his knowledge after being deceived by his friend, Emmanuel Ode. The incident occurred on April 24, 2026, when Ezekiel was taken to Wellington Hospital, Life Camp, Abuja. According to Ezekiel, Ode convinced him that the kidney removal would not impact his health or lifestyle.
The Nigerian Police Force arrested Ode, two doctors, and another suspect in a sting operation. The suspects allegedly operated an organ-harvesting and human-trafficking syndicate targeting vulnerable young individuals. Ezekiel's mother only learned about the procedure after receiving a phone call informing her of her son's kidney removal. She had no prior knowledge of her son's hospitalization.
