Nasarawa State Police Command busted a chilling organ-harvesting plot on November 18, 2025, arresting 40-year-old Maro Ebojoh from Ogbara Inland, Etiope East LGA, Delta State, as he scouted desperate donors in Lafia. Ebojoh, nabbed at Yahaya Sabo Motor Park in Bukan Sidi by vigilant park security, confessed to recruiting four young men with fake N2 million payouts for their kidneys—part of a syndicate netting him N6.5 million total.
The Lure and Narrow Escape
Ebojoh rolled into Lafia on November 14, targeting broke jobless youths with “easy money” promises. His marks:
- Umar Barau, 25
- Suleiman Alhaji-Garba, 20
- Williams Daring, 32
- Stanley Ezekiel, 27
He shuttled them to an Abuja clinic for “fitness checks,” but panic hit when one victim’s BP spiked—meds were called in, but Nasarawa cops swooped, rescuing all four mid-scheme. Ebojoh spilled: Client fronted N500k per donor (N2M total advance), with balance post-op. He even bragged about a prior gig two months back, pocketing N2.5M after a successful kidney yank.
CP Shettima Mohammed Jauro paraded him at HQ, vowing probes into the network: “He confessed fully—organ harvesting preys on the vulnerable.” Shoutouts to IGP Kayode Egbetokun and Gov. Abdullahi Sule for backup; new multi-agency checkpoints (Police, Civil Defence, Army) now lock down hotspots.
Bigger Chill: Nigeria’s Black Market Organ Plague
This bust echoes grim trends—Nasarawa’s seen spikes in youth-targeted rackets amid poverty. Jauro’s plea: “Ditch get-rich-quick traps—report suspicions ASAP.” X users rage: “Devil’s work in broad daylight” [post vibes from similar busts], tying it to economic desperation.
Ebojoh’s facing charges; victims safe but scarred. Another win for vigilance—stay sharp, Naija. Thoughts on this nightmare? Tag a tip line. 🚨🇳🇬 #OrganHarvestingBust #NasarawaPolice #DeltaCrime
