Trouble broke out recently over in Lagos recently following the exposure of the clandestine activities of two teenagers who sold their organs for N100,000 each without their parents consent.

Confiance News gathered from a Vanguard report on Friday.

The report said, “The two teenagers, 17-year-old Precious Ikechukwu, daughter of the Bishop and Founder of Living Word Anointed Gospel Mission, located at Iyana-Ipaja in Lagos, Ikechukwu Umeayo and her father’s Secretary, 19-year-old, Theresa Obam, allegedly connived with a member of the church, Mrs Adeleke Blessing, who took them to a medical doctor at Redwood Specialist Hospital, Abeokuta, where their organs were sold for N100,000 each, two months ago.”

The report indicated that Mrs Adeleke was staying with her mother-in-law in the compound where the church is situated and often attends the church’s vigil.

The secret they concealed was blown open on September 12, 2022, when Precious, the Bishop’s daughter, started vomiting. She was taken to hospital by her father, Ikechukwu Umeayo, who thought it was typhoid or malaria.

The doctor requested for medical test, which later revealed that her anus and private part were damaged.

It was gathered that the sick girl disclosed to her father that a female member of his church, Mrs Adeleke, trafficked her and Theresa to Abeokuta, where their organs were sold to a medical doctor.

The teenagers further alleged that Mrs Adeleke convinced them to carry out the illegal act because her father is not paying them enough money and that she will take them to where they will be handsomely paid N100,000.

They also alleged that Mrs Adeleke warned them not to tell their parents, saying that if they did, she will kill them.

How organs were harvested

Speaking on how the transplant was carried out, the teenagers said Mrs. Adeleke Blessing, also known as Mummy K, without the consent of their parents, trafficked them to Redwood Hospital in Abeokuta, Ogun State and conspired with the doctor identified as Dr. Durodola who injected some drugs into them.

They alleged that they were forcefully taken to a PDF Hospital in Surulere, Lagos where they were also coerced.

In the process, their ovaries/eggs/organs were harvested illegally by the medical doctor without their consent, resulting in severe pains and bleeding.

Based on the revelations, the ladies were taken to another hospital in Surulere, Lagos, where they were referred to a medical laboratory for test and scan.

The result revealed that their liver, uterus, urinary bladder, kidney, spleen, gall bladder were damaged as result of their ovaries/eggs, about (46 ovaries) that were harvested in the hospital at Abeokuta.
