A health worker (names withheld) and her husband, have both narrated how she narrowly escaped from the clutches of suspected organ traffickers in Owerri, the Imo state capital.
The middle aged health worker residing at the Egbu area of Owerri has narrated how she was heading to the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri to see one of her patients who was delivered of twins the day before.
Unknown to her, she entered a bus occupied by suspected organ traffickers, used for abduction of unsuspecting commuters. She boarded the bus at Fire Service junction to go to FMC but on reaching Cherubim junction, she inhaled a certain gas from the driver and things gradually started turning groggy. It dawned on her that she was slipping into a deep sleep when they approached FMC and the signposts were all hazy and faint.
At that point she started calling out the driver to stop that she has reached her destination but the driver sped past and at that point, she started dragging the driver and the steering wheel.
” At that point somebody from the back hit me and that was when I realised I have entered an evil vehicle. There was a pregnant lady, two Scholl children and one younger lady. I instantly realised they were all victims. At that point the same person that hit me from the back brought out something like a perfume and sprayed directly at my face and it entered my nostrils. That was how I was subdued. I did not know how long we drove but I found myself in a thick bush when they were bringing us out of the mini bus(Bus Imo) and taking us into Toyota Hiace bus with curtains. When they brought out an injection, I resisted and fought, bit, clawed as many of them that came within reach. I was desperate and fighting for my life with everything I had. They beat me mercilessly, brought out a matchet flogged me until I thought they were going to kill me then. One of them they called Dr. Emma who emerged from the Toyota Hiace bus used a scissors and cut part of my trousers and said my flesh was good enough for their need. But another dreadlocked member who seemed their spiritual head, advised that I be sent away as I posed a risk to their enterprise.”
According to the woman, she was eventually put back in the mini bus and taken back to bush part she didn’t recognised and pushed out of the vehicle. At the time, she could barely walk and was crawling and calling for help until she came out where people were and was able to get help.
Her husband and neighbours were called to come and pick her up near the Akwakuma area, from where she was taken to hospital.
The matron is still receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital
This is just one of many reported incidents of abductions by organ trafficking syndicates in Owerri.
Government is urged to pay close attention to this emerging criminal trend before unsuspecting citizens become victims of these merchants of death.
