THE Lagos State Police Command has commenced an investigation into how two teenagers, residing in the Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos State, sold their organs to a medical doctor in Abeokuta, Ogun State, last two months for #200,000 without the consent of their parents.
Vanguard reports that the teenagers, 17-year-old Precious Ikechukwu, daughter of a Pentecostal Bishop in Lagos, and her father’s secretary, 19-year-old Theresa Obam, allegedly connived with an adult member of the church, Mrs Adeleke Blessing, and went to a medical doctor at Redwood Specialist Hospital, Abeokuta, where their organs were sold for #100,000 each.
The bubble reportedly burst on September 12, 2022, when Precious, the daughter of the bishop and Founder of Living Word Anointed Gospel Mission, located at Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos, started vomiting and was taken to hospital by her father, Ikechukwu Umeayo, who thought it was typhoid or malaria, and the doctor requested for a medical test, which later revealed that her anus and private part were damaged.
It was gathered that the sick girl, who became unconscious after her health condition was blown open, regained consciousness and disclosed to her father that a female member of his church, Mrs Adeleke Blessing, trafficked them to Ogun State, 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 the bishop, her father, is not paying them enough money and that she will take them to where they will be handsomely paid #100,000.
They also alleged that Mrs Adeleke warned them not to tell their father/parents that if they do, she will kill them.
