Police operatives in Imo State have arrested a suspected kidnapper and organ harvester during a daring rescue in the Douglas area of the state.

The suspect, 38-year-old Justine Emmanuel from Amimo in Ikeduru Local Government Area, was nabbed during a swift operation that saved a 19-year-old woman, whose name has been withheld to protect her privacy.

In a statement on Saturday, police spokesperson Henry Okoye detailed how officers on patrol became suspicious after spotting a blue and white bus behaving erratically.

Investigating further, they observed a group attempting to abduct the young woman, with the intention of transporting her to an unknown location for organ harvesting.

“During the chase, the victim bravely jumped from the moving bus and was rescued by our operatives. The police pursued the suspects, prompting them to abandon the vehicle. While one suspect was arrested, others escaped into the nearby bush,” said Okoye.

The police have launched a full-scale investigation to track down the remaining members of the syndicate and expose the depth of their operations.

Okoye reassured the public of the police force’s determination to clamp down on violent crimes and urged citizens to report any suspicious behavior immediately.

Kamala Harris recently shared her medical records, which verify that she is in “excellent health” and fully prepared to step into the role of president if needed.

Taking the opportunity to criticize her Republican rival, Harris pointed to Donald Trump’s refusal to make his own health records public.

She claimed that Trump “doesn’t want the American people to know if he’s fit for the presidency.”

Although Trump’s team has yet to release his records, they cited his physician, who assured the public that Trump is in “perfect and excellent health.”

Additionally, they highlighted his “extremely busy and active campaign schedule” as evidence of his vitality, suggesting he has more energy than Harris.

This back-and-forth came after the White House released a detailed report confirming Harris’s “physical and mental resiliency” for the presidency.

Dr. Joshua Simmons, who has treated Harris for over three years, described her most recent exam as “unremarkable,” noting that she maintains a healthy lifestyle.

He did mention her family history of colon cancer and her successful management of allergies, praising her commitment to preventative measures like routine colonoscopies and mammograms.

After making the records public, a spokesperson for Harris’s campaign took to social media, challenging Trump to disclose his medical history as well.

At a campaign stop in North Carolina, Harris questioned Trump’s mental sharpness, remarking on his tendency to “often go off on tangents.”

Concerns over Trump’s age and mental fitness have been growing among Democrats, especially given that Republicans previously attacked President Joe Biden for similar reasons before his departure from the race.

If Trump is re-elected in November, he would end his second term at the age of 82, the same age Biden will be when he leaves office in January.

In response to the mounting pressure from Harris’s camp, Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, pointed out that Trump had “voluntarily released” health updates from his doctor, including a report following the attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this year.

Cheung reaffirmed that all reports show Trump is in “perfect and excellent health,” referencing a 2023 letter which confirmed that both his physical and cognitive exams were “exceptional.”

Though national polls show Harris with a slight edge, the race remains highly competitive in key swing states.
