Doctor Noah Kekere, who was arrested for allegedly harvesting a woman’s kidney in Jos, reportedly turned lunatic on Saturday while in police detention at the Plateau State Police Command.

According to our source, Kekere was rushed to the psychiatric unit of Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) after exhibiting signs of insanity in the police cell.
A source from the police headquarters confirmed to City & Crime that the suspect was rushed to the hospital after he began acting erratically in the cell, shredding his clothes.
