  "summary": "A social media activist, VeryDarkMan, and his legal representative, Marshall Abubakar, have revealed that over ten young Nigerians may have been victims of illegal kidney harvesting schemes. The claim was made during an interview on Channels Television’s Morning Brief, where Abubakar alleged that medical practitioners and their agents were luring vulnerable young Nigerians into these schemes under the guise of medical procedures. The case came to light after a young man approached the Martin Luther King Centre, headed by VeryDarkMan, with a medical report indicating that his left kidney was missing. The lawyer further alleged that the young man was given about $1,300 after the procedure, while his identity was changed and an affidavit obtained in another name to conceal the circumstances surrounding the operation. Abubakar described the alleged practice as a criminal enterprise, stressing that lawful organ donation requires informed consent and must not involve financial inducement.",
