Illegal kidney/liver removal by crime syndicates... Is it real?


Human Trafficking is modern day slavery. People are trafficked within and across borders for exploitative reasons. Some of the exploitations include commercial sex trade, domestic servitude, chattel slavery, forced marriage, debt bondage, and more worrisome of all, organ harvesting.  
Organ harvesting refers to the removal, preservation and use of human organs and tissue from a supposed ‘donor’ to be used in surgical transplants on a person in need of such organs or tissue. A rise in diabetes and other diseases has increased the demand for organs, leading to a lucrative industry of trafficking.
Organised gangs are harvesting organs such as kidneys from vulnerable people for patients offering almost $200,000, while such vulnerable people are paid as low as $20,000 by these organised gangs. Many of the patients involved in the operations, which were estimated to number 10,000 a year - more than one an hour, go to China, India or Pakistan for the procedures.
Luc Noel, a World Health Organization (WHO) official, who monitors the black market for organ donations, said: “The illegal trade worldwide was falling back in about 2006-07 – there was a decrease in 'transplant tourism.'
"The trade may well be increasing again. There have been recent signs that that may well be the case.
 “There is a growing need for transplants and big profits to be made. It's ever growing, it's a constant struggle. The stakes are so big, the profit that can be made so huge, that the temptation is out there."
Figures from WHO showed more than 100,000 organs had been legally and illegally transplanted in 95 member states in 2010.
The illegal removal of organs is a development that has far-reaching consequences, however, due to the clandestine nature of the crime, real statistics are hard to come by.

QUESTION
Nigeria as the most populous black nation in the world, is a source, transit and destination country for the crime of human trafficking; how have we fared in terms of the illegal removal of organs? Do organ harvesting exist in Nigeria? Do you have any real case of illegal organ harvesting in your environment/locality/neighboring community/state? Do you have any related personal experience on organ harvesting? Please share with us! Let people know about this heinous crime that is shrouded in so much secrecy, leading to the general public believing that it is just figments of writers' imagination. 
A handsome reward awaits anyone who can relate with us about a true life incidence on the removal of organs. The reward is instant upon verification, please. So, what are you waiting for? Lets here your true life story!

Compliments of the Season...
