Kekere, who had been disowned by the Nigerian Medical Association in the state, was accused of removing the kidneys of his two ex-patients during operations at his Murna Clinic and Maternity, located in Yanshanu community of Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The suspect was granted bail on Tuesday at a JMDB magistrate’s court presided by Joseph Chollom.
But the bail did not go down well with the victims, their families and the community where the Murna Clinic and Maternity is located – a situation that led the victims to petition the state government over the decision of the magistrate.
Both the police command and the state Ministry of Justice said they were not aware of the bail.
The permanent secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Joel Tahvan, had on Wednesday, accused the magistrate of complicity, explaining that the bail was granted without prosecution.
