- Busari Kamal, husband of the kidney removal victim, rejected millions of naira offered to settle the case and praised the honest police officer
- The accused, Dr. Noah Kekere, who is exhibiting mental illness, is not a member of the Nigerian Medical Association
Busari Kamal, the husband of the woman whose kidney was allegedly removed by controversial doctor Noah Kekere, claimed he was offered millions of naira to settle the case.
In 2018, the victim’s right kidney was illegally harvested at Murna Clinic and Maternity in Jos.
In an interview with Daily Trust, Kamal praised the Nasarawa Gown Divisional Police Officer, SP Timothy Bebissa, for standing by the truth and resisting all attempts to bribe him to downplay the case.
According to the husband, when the suspected harvester was apprehended, all attempts to bribe him and the DPO were futile, and he was told to mention any amount he wanted for the case to be closed.
He said;
I have never seen a sincere police officer like the DPO of Nasarawa Gown division. He stood by the truth and rejected money. He deserves to be commended. I was also offered bribe of millions of naira at the detriment of my wife. I told them that I will not collect the money to close this case. I believe that we still have good police officers.
The suspected harvester was apprehended after the victim’s husband filed a complaint at the Nasarawa police station.
Dr. Kekere, who is currently exhibiting mental illness at Jos University Teaching Hospital’s psychiatric unit, had been providing medical treatment, including surgery, for over two decades prior to his arrest.
On Sunday, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) stated that the embattled doctor was not a member of the organization.
Dr. Bapigaan William Audu, the group’s state chairman, told Daily Trust over the phone that records at the NMA secretariat showed that the accused is neither a medical doctor nor a member of the association.
