CALL FOR URGENT INTERVENTION AS KIDNEY SELLING RISES AMONG YOUTHS IN GURARA
Gurara Local Government, Niger State — A growing concern has emerged over the alarming increase in cases of kidney selling among youths in Gurara Local Government Area, prompting a strong call for immediate intervention by relevant authorities.
Ambassador Hon. Adamu Haruna, the Gurara LGA Coordinator, has raised the alarm over what he described as a dangerous and life-threatening trend, where young people resort to selling their kidneys as a means of survival. According to him, this practice poses severe health risks, including chronic illnesses, organ failure, and in extreme cases, loss of life.
He further noted that the situation exposes vulnerable youths to exploitation by illegal organ trafficking networks, thereby worsening their socio-economic conditions and limiting their future productivity.
Amb. Adamu Haruna is therefore calling on the government at all levels, security agencies, healthcare institutions, and non-governmental organizations to take urgent and decisive action. He emphasized the need for widespread awareness campaigns to educate youths on the dangers of organ selling, strict enforcement of laws against illegal organ trade, and the creation of sustainable empowerment opportunities to address the root causes of the problem.
He stressed that immediate and collective intervention is crucial to safeguarding the lives, dignity, and future of young people in Gurara and beyond.
