The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has debunked viral reports claiming that it confirmed that almost all young residents of Mararaba, Nyanya and other parts of the FCT have sold their kidneys to organ traffickers.
A Facebook user, Labran Abu Labco, had alleged that the police confirmed that almost all young people residing in Mararaba, Nyanya, Karu and other communities in the nation’s capital have sold their kidneys “in exchange for money”.
The post also alleged that an agent residing in Mararaba has been purchasing human kidneys.
Reacting, the FCT Police Command, in a statement issued on Wednesday by its Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said it has “neither received nor confirmed any report of such nature”.
