The Member representing Jos North North constituency, in the Plateau State House of Assembly, Hon. Adamu Aliyu, has called on the state government to thoroughly investigate the issues of kidney havesting by Mr Noah Kekere, at Myrna Clinic and maternity, Jos.

Hon. Aliyu made the call while presenting a motion of urgent importance at the plenary of the House.

He said: "We are awashed with the story of one Mrs Kehinde Kamal, who sometimes in 2018 consulted a supposedly medical doctor known as Dr Noah Kekere, the proprietor of Murna Clinic and Maternity situated at Nasarawa Gwong Jos, She had abdominal pains, and Dr Noah Kekere, did informed her that her illness was an appendix which must be removed.

"Mr Noah Kekere conducted the surgery as planned in 2018, after several hours, unfortunately and unknowingly her right kidney was illegally removed on the course of the surgery, it was later discovered at the University of Jos Teaching Hospital, that her kidney was removed, the discovery led to the arrest of Mr Noah Kekere," Hon. Aliyu said.

"In another twist the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), confirmed that Noah Kekere is a quack, I now, therefore, call on this house to call on the state government agency to investigate quacks and unregistered hospitals," he urged.

Hon. Aliyu stressed that worthy of commendation was The Divisional Police Officer (DPO), SP Timothy Bebissa, that had rejected the offer of bribe by Mr Noah Kekere.

Hon. Aliyu in a separate interview with newsmen said the number of victims are increasing as many others are been discovered, he said there was no how he would let the culprit just go unprosecuted.
