Shocking Revelation: 651 Kidneys Worth $41bn Illegally Trafficked in Nigeria Annually

Professor Aliyu Abdu revealed that 651 kidneys worth $41 billion are illegally trafficked and transplanted in Nigeria annually. The seminar on organ trafficking highlighted the exploitation of impoverished individuals coerced by financial incentives or ignorance of risks.

Abdu emphasized the lack of regulation, unethical medical practices, and the vulnerability of donors left without proper care post-transplant. Organ trafficking thrives in Nigeria due to poverty, inequality, and lax enforcement of medical ethics.

The seminar aimed to raise awareness and advocate for stricter regulations to combat this unethical practice.
