A young Nigerian, Samuel Ezekiel, has recounted how his friend allegedly changed his identity to “Hassan Abubakar” before he underwent kidney removal at Wellington Hospital, Life Camp, Abuja.
Ezekiel also alleged that after he was paid in dollars for the procedure, he handed the money to his friend, Emmanuel Odeh, who allegedly changed the cash and spent part of it on phones, power banks and Wi-Fi devices.
He disclosed this while speaking to journalists during the Nigeria Police Force parade of suspects linked to an alleged organ-harvesting syndicate in Abuja and Nasarawa State on Friday.
Ezekiel said Odeh initially told him they were going to the hospital, adding that he trusted his friend enough to comply with his instructions.
“It’s my friend that deceived me. His name is Emmanuel Udeh,” Ezekiel said.
