A senior doctor at a general hospital in Nigeria is at the center of a shocking scandal involving an alleged underground organ trafficking ring, according to two whistleblowers who now fear for their lives. The whistleblowers, Bello Nasiru and Sanni Oluwayemisi, both dedicated staff members at the hospital, claim to have uncovered evidence of a gruesome operation targeting accident victims with no identified relatives.
Bello Nasiru and Sanni Oluwayemisi, who have worked at the hospital for years, say they stumbled upon a hidden storage room filled with surgically extracted organs preserved in jars. The victims, often brought in by Good Samaritans, were reportedly declared dead under suspicious circumstances, with their bodies never claimed or investigated further. The organs, the whistleblowers allege, were being sold to high-profile clients, government officials, and international black-market dealers.
However, their decision to expose the operation has put them in grave danger. After Bello Nasiru confided in a former colleague, he was brutally murdered on Saturday, December 11, 2024, at 10:30 PM. His mutilated body was dumped in a gutter as a warning to others. The incident was discovered on October 13, 2024.
Since then, Sanni Oluwayemisi and her husband, Sanni Olanrewaju, have been relentlessly hunted, forcing them to flee their home with their children on November 12, 2024. Their once peaceful residence was raided and set on fire. Neighbors, too afraid to assist, have reportedly turned a blind eye. One neighbor who attempted to help the family by providing food and clothing was allegedly caught, severely beaten, and had their right arm amputated as a punishment.
The couple’s faces have since appeared on wanted posters across the region, not as victims but as accused criminals labeled as traitors conspiring against the state. Their ordeal highlights the pervasive reach of the alleged trafficking network, which they say includes allies in government, law enforcement, and local gangs.
“We have nowhere to go,” the couple said in a desperate plea for assistance. “We are under attack, and the state cannot protect us. We need help to survive this manhunt by these perpetrators of evil.”
The case has sparked outrage and calls for an independent investigation into the allegations. Human rights organizations and activists are urging the government and international bodies to intervene, citing the dangers faced by whistleblowers in a system where corruption and impunity often prevail.
As the Sanni family continues to evade their pursuers, their story sheds light on a dark and disturbing reality, one that raises urgent questions about accountability, justice, and the safety of those who risk everything to expose the truth.
