A suspected organ-harvesting operation spanning Abuja and Nasarawa State has come under investigation following the arrest of individuals believed to be connected to the alleged network.
Among those arrested are suspected medical professionals, including nephrologists, according to information released in connection with the police investigation.
The case has drawn attention to the disturbing issue of illegal organ trafficking and allegations that vulnerable people may be exploited for financial gain.
Investigators are working to determine the structure of the suspected syndicate, the roles allegedly played by those arrested and whether more people were involved.
The investigation is also expected to examine how potential victims were identified and recruited, as well as the circumstances surrounding the alleged medical procedures.
The arrests represent another major development in efforts by law enforcement agencies to tackle suspected organised organ trafficking in Nigeria.
Authorities are continuing their investigation and are expected to provide further information as the case progresses.
The police have urged anyone with information about suspected organ-trafficking activities to come forward and assist investigators.
As the investigation continues, attention will remain focused on establishing the facts of the case and ensuring that anyone found responsible is brought before the appropriate authorities.
