- Doctor accused of kidney removal in Jos, Nigeria, displays signs of mental illness in police cell, rushed to psychiatric unit
- He was taken to Jos University Teaching Hospital after exhibiting erratic behavior and making disturbing statements
Noah Kekere, the doctor accused of removing a woman’s kidney in Jos, Plateau State’s capital, displayed mental illness in a police cell on Saturday evening.
Kekere was arrested on Wednesday after a report was filed at the Nasarawa Gown police division about removing Mrs. Kehinde Kamal’s right kidney during an operation in 2018.
The state police had previously confirmed the arrest of the suspected harvester.
According to sources, Kekere was rushed to the Psychiatric Unit of Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) after exhibiting signs of insanity in the police cell.
A source from the police headquarters confirmed to Daily Trust that the suspected harvester was taken to the hospital after tearing his clothes in the cell and acting like a “mad” person.
This made the police rush him to Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) in handcuff.
A source from the hospital also confirmed to Daily Trust that Kekere was admitted to the hospital’s psychiatric department.
The source said;
On arrival, he was just screaming, yelling and shouting. He was saying ‘they want to silence my daughter’.
According to our source, there is a large police presence around the hospital’s Psychiatric unit.
DSP Alabo Alfred, the state police command’s spokesperson, did not respond to our correspondent’s inquiry.
It was reported that Kekere had provided medical treatment, including surgery, at his Murna Clinic and Maternity in Yanshanu Community of Jos North Local Government Area of the state for over two decades before his arrest.
