Noah Kekere, the doctor who allegedly removed a woman’s kidney in Jos, Plateau State, reportedly exhibited traces of mental disorder in the police cell on Saturday evening.
Kekere was arrested on Wednesday following a report lodged at the Nasarawa Gown police division on the alleged removal of the right kidney of Mrs. Kehinde Kamal during an operation in 2018.
The state police command had earlier confirmed the arrest of the suspected harvester.
Reports say Kekere was rushed to the Psychiatric unit of Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), after he exhibited symptom of madness in the police cell.
A source from the police headquarters confirmed that the doctor was taken to the hospital when he started tearing his clothes in the cell and started behaving like a “mad” person.
A source from the hospital further said the doctor was admitted at the psychiatric department of the hospital.
The source said: “On arrival, he was just screaming, yelling and shouting. He was saying ‘they want to silence my daughter’.”
The reports further said there has been heavy police presence around the Psychiatric unit of the hospital.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Alabo Alfred, did not respond to the inquiry by journslists.
It was gathered that Kekere had prior his arrest been carrying out medical treatment, including surgery, for more than two decades at his Murna Clinic and Maternity, located in Yanshanu community of Jos North Local Government Area of the State.
