Alhaji Ibrahim Ejibade, a citizen of Jos North local government area in Plateau State and a resident of William Street, has passed away. He was the one who accused Mr. Norah Kekere of kidney theft at Murna Clinic and Maternity, Jos.
The late Ejibade’s family claims that since his hernia surgery in 2021, which was done by Mr. Kekere, he has struggled with an unstable health status.
The late Ejibade accused Mr. Kekere of removing his right kidney in September of last year. Mr. Kekere was then taken into custody after a report of Mrs. Kehinde Kamal’s right kidney being removed during a procedure in 2018 was filed at the Nasarawa Gwom Police Division.
Later, the Plateau State Ministry of Justice sued Mr. Kekere in state supreme court on behalf of Ejibade and Kehinde Kamal, who had also accused the same doctor of harvesting organs.
Confirming the death, Ejibade’s son, Muhammad Sani, said their father passed on on Wednesday evening and had since been buried according to Islamic rites.
“Baba’s illness continued unabated since his surgery at Murna Clinic. You know, we discovered that his left kidney was removed when we went to Jos University Teaching Hospital for scanning following the surgery by Mr Kekere, and the matter is still pending in court,” Sani said.
He added by saying that despite his declining health, Ejibade was able to show up for the court hearings even on the final postponed date.
According to our correspondent, Mr. Noah Kekere and his two suspected collaborators, Dr. Philip Dachung and Yusuf Abduallahi, a staff member of the Murna Clinic, are currently awaiting trial and have been given bail.
