Rivers: Kidnappers Negotiated On Selling My Internal Organs – Survivor

A kidnap victim has raised concern on how kidnappers in Rivers State specialise in abducting people and harvesting their internal organs for sale.

The man who spoke on condition of anonymity with Punch, regained freedom from the kidnapper’s den in Woji, near Port Harcourt.

The victim disclosed that he was abducted by an armed man around Woji in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State while trying to drop off a friend.

He disclosed that his abductors took him to a forest called Sambisa in Oyigbo on the outskirts of Port Harcourt.

He further stated that while he was in the kidnapper’s den, he heard his abductors negotiating on how much they would sell his internal organs.

The victim said, “I was there with them for about four days. They beat and stabbed me. They got access to my mobile telephone and my account.

“They forced me to insert my ATM card into their Point of Sale machine and collected all the money in my account. After three days, my brother sent N50,000 to my account. They collected it after so much torture.

“I was there when they were calling a fellow and haggling my kidney, my liver, neck and everything.

“It was just one of them who said I’m too young to die. At the end of the day, God intervened in my case.”

He advised people against leaving details of bank transactions on their phones.

He also advises motorists driving at night to wind up their windows.

The survivor added, “Part of the advice I will give to people in Port Harcourt is that if you are driving at night and you have an air-conditioned car, ensure you wind up and lock the doors.

“Secondly, everything concerning bank transactions, such as alert messages from banks, make sure that you don’t leave them on your phone.

“That is one of the sources where they can trace your finances and get access to your accounts. My car is still with them as I speak with you.

“I have reported the case to the police kidnapping unit, but till now the police have not given me any information about my car.”
