Benue Man Escapes Alleged Organ Harvesting Attack in Ghana

A chilling incident involving a Benue indigene in Accra, Ghana, has sparked concerns over the safety of Nigerians residing or visiting the West African neighbor, with reports of a targeted attack disguised as a police raid aimed at organ harvesting.

According to a Facebook post by D’naked Elder Sughne, a man from Benue State narrowly escaped death after intruders wearing police uniforms burst into his apartment around 11pm on Thursday, January 2, 2026. The assailants reportedly shot and killed two of his housemates—one from Benin-Edo State and the other from Warri-Delta State—before harvesting their private parts while the victim watched helplessly from the kitchen where he was cooking.

The post described the attackers cutting the victims’ heads and removing organs in a gruesome manner, claiming the Benue man was “about to survive” but managed to hide during the ordeal. His last known location was Urban Apartments headed Aflao Road, Accra. The poster mentioned immediately contacting the Ghana Police Service, but the victim’s phone was off at the time.

In a swift update shared shortly after, D’naked Elder Sughne confirmed that the Benue man is safe, having communicated via video call. He urged fellow Nigerians in Ghana to exercise caution and stay vigilant, thanking supporters for their prayers and concern.

While the graphic details and images shared in the posts have circulated widely on social media, raising alarms about rising hostility toward Nigerians in Ghana, no official confirmation from Ghanaian authorities or police reports matching this exact incident have surfaced as of January 3, 2026. Such unverified claims highlight ongoing fears among the Nigerian diaspora amid isolated reports of crime and scams targeting foreigners. Community leaders are calling for increased awareness and safety measures for travelers and residents abroad.
