A Nigerian man has taken to X, formerly Twitter to share how his brother narrowly escaped organ harvesters disguised in police uniforms.
The user, who disclosed that he is not based in Nigeria, noted that the incident came as sad news and sent chills down his spine.
According to his tweet, these reapers took his cousin during a Bolt ride in Port Harcourt, and they planned to take him to Bayelsa.
The supposed officers had stopped the vehicle, dragged the young man out, and assaulted him before tying his hands and forcing him into the backseat of their Sienna.
The Bolt driver, who suspected foul play, tried to raise an alarm but was met with gunfire as the kidnappers shot out his tires.
Inside the vehicle, they took his brother’s phone and scrolled through his photos where they discovered images from a recent surgery and questioned him about it.
When he revealed he had kidney failure and had been managing it for seven years, the attackers immediately changed course, discussed among themselves, and let him go after concluding that his organs were unusable.
However, before releasing him, they withdrew ₦80,000 from his account, handed him ₦3,000 and his phone, and told him to call his Bolt driver to come back for him.
His tweet has evoked different reactions from internet users, with many speaking against the growing rate of insecurity in the country.
