Nisa Premier Hospital, Jabi, Abuja, has strongly denied allegations circulating on social media linking the medical facility to the alleged transactional removal of a young man’s kidney.
The hospital, in a statement issued by its management, described the allegation as false and unfounded, stressing that it neither performed the surgery in question nor had any surgical encounter with the young man at the centre of the controversy.
According to the hospital, its only involvement in the matter was the conduct of a diagnostic ultrasound scan after the young man was brought to the facility by an investigator seeking to establish the condition of his kidneys.
Hospital’s Role Was Diagnostic, Not Surgical
Nisa Premier Hospital explained that the ultrasound examination was conducted specifically to confirm whether the young man had both kidneys.
The service, it said, was paid for by the investigator who brought the individual to the hospital. Following the examination, a professional report was issued, which indicated the absence of the left kidney.
The hospital maintained that the scan was conducted strictly as a diagnostic procedure and had no connection with the alleged surgical removal of the kidney.
It further pointed out that the investigator himself reportedly clarified in the primary video circulating online that Nisa Premier Hospital was only involved in carrying out the scan to establish the condition of the young man’s kidneys.
Hospital Seeks Proper Investigation
While distancing itself from the allegation, the hospital called on relevant authorities to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the young man’s missing kidney.
Nisa Premier Hospital said it remained ready to cooperate fully with any official investigation aimed at establishing the facts and resolving the matter.
The management reaffirmed its commitment to ethical medical practice, transparency and the provision of quality healthcare services to its patients.
Commitment to Professional Healthcare
As a multispecialty healthcare facility, Nisa Premier Hospital assured its patients, partners, stakeholders and members of the public that it would continue to operate in accordance with established medical and professional standards.
The hospital also urged members of the public to exercise caution over unverified information circulating on social media, particularly regarding sensitive medical allegations.
It advised the public to rely on official statements from the hospital and relevant authorities for factual updates as investigations into the matter progress.
Nisa Premier Hospital stressed that it has nothing to do with the alleged surgical removal of the young man’s kidney and remains committed to cooperating with the appropriate authorities to ensure that the facts are established.
