By: Safiya Abdulrahim Dabban
Police in Nasarawa have arrested 40-year-old Maro Ebojoh for allegedly recruiting kidney donors and attempting to move them out of the state. Four victims, aged 20 to 33, were rescued during the arrest at a bus terminal in Lafia.
Police Commissioner Shettima Jauro Mohammed said Ebojoh travelled from Delta State to find donors, took them for medical tests, and moved one victim to Abuja for a planned transplant before complications stalled the procedure. Security operatives later rescued the victim safely.
The suspect allegedly admitted he was to be paid ₦6.5 million for the deal and had already received ₦500,000. He also claimed he previously arranged another donor, earning ₦1 million.
In another case, police arrested ten armed-robbery suspects in Mararaba, who reportedly confessed to multiple attacks, including one that killed a police officer’s son.
All suspects have been transferred to the SCID for further investigation.
