LaRevulva reported that there are over 25,000 missing persons in the country presently - people who left their loved ones with no trace.
She went on to share a link to a petition where one can sign and create a list of missing persons.
In response to LaRevulva’s outcry, BBNaija Leo Da Silva brought people’s attention to the issue and the high possibility of the organ harvesting pandemic eating up society.
Leo supported his claims by mentioning how one of his close friends nearly became a victim.
In Leo’s statement:
"There is an organ harvesting ring thriving in Nigeria. Someone close to me has fallen victim, but God saved him. This is why we need to start securing ourselves in Nigeria. Security agencies can’t."

@RespiratoryDafe:
"I was talking to a couple of people who didn't understand the money ritual thing and tried explaining to them that it was nothing more than organ harvesting, only just making it look like rituals. A multi-billion dollar ring that most people are oblivious to."
shoppingxppressions:
"King of Boys had revealed this before and now Shanty town has also emphasized it, it is better we start creating awareness of this."
amakakimjenny:
"The thing that happened with Uduak the guy that murdered a jobseeker, that’s just a small part of a big organ harvesting syndicate, but he took the fall and it was wrapped up. In saner climes the media wouldn’t have access to the story, intelligence agencies would have used Uduak to pull out the big guys, but the big guys might still go unpunished cos of how this country is."
