I Donated My Kidney For $20 Million To My Boss, But…

Chimobi Nwoko, a driver, has been at odds with his employer, simply known as Akazue, since the latter is accused of tricking Nwoko into giving one of his kidneys to Osinachi, his younger brother, and then not paying Nwoko the promised compensation.

Nwoko, while narrating his ordeal on Tuesday, said Akazue promised to give him $20m, a house, and a driving job in the US, but since undergoing the kidney transplant at a popular hospital in Lagos State on December 22, 2018, Akazue has failed to honour his promises.

Prior to undergoing the transplant, the aggrieved man said his boss warned him against informing members of his family.

He also said Akazue brought his younger sister, Deborah, to act as his wife, who signed the consent form at the hospital before the transplant.

After undergoing the transplant and being discharged from the hospital, Nwoko said his boss moved him into a one-room apartment in Mowe, adding that one week after the surgery, Akazue ordered him to return to work despite still recuperating.

Narrating how life has been since the transplant, Nwoko claimed he is now always tired and is no longer as agile as he used to be before the transplant.

He added that since the day he was discharged, the family had never bothered to care for his health.

Nwoko said, “I was employed as a driver for Mr Akazue in November 2018. His brother, Osinach, had a kidney issue, so when my boss travelled, I was driving his brother to the hospital for dialysis every three days. When my boss returned, he called me into his office and told me that his brother’s kidney had failed.

“He said in the next one or two weeks, his brother may die. He asked if I would like to donate one of my kidneys for his brother and said if I donated the kidney, he would give me $20m, a house in America, and will also get me a driving job in America.

“I said I would do it and the next day, we went to the hospital where they ran tests and told me my kidney would match his. The next day, Akazue’s brothers, another of his in-laws, one Mr Joe, and I went back to the hospital, we stayed three days after which the surgery was done.”
