The FCT Police Command has dismissed viral social media claims that young residents of Nyanya have been selling their kidneys for money.
The Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has denied receipt of any report concerning the alleged sale of kidneys in the Nyanya area of Abuja, describing the viral social media publication as false and misleading .
CDA News Nigeria reports that the Command Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, issued a statement on Wednesday in Abuja clarifying the police position following widespread online claims .
Adeh said the clarification became necessary after publications circulated on social media alleging that the command had confirmed reports that young people residing around Nyanya had sold their kidneys for money. The publications further alleged that an agent in Mararaba, Nasarawa State, was purchasing the organs from the young people .
“The Police Command in the FCT wishes to categorically state that it has neither received nor confirmed any report of such nature. No statement or communication to that effect has emanated from the command,” Adeh stated .
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the police command urged the public to disregard the publication and refrain from circulating unverified information capable of causing unnecessary fear, panic and apprehension among residents .
Adeh enjoined anyone with information regarding the alleged human organ trafficking, or any other security concern within the FCT, to promptly report to the nearest police station or contact the command through the following phone numbers: 07038979348 or 08028940883Â .
