Mahdi Shehu Cites Regional Media Bias in Organ Harvest Report

Political commentator Mahdi Shehu has openly criticized what he described as media bias following the discovery of over 100 corpses of alleged organ harvest victims found in southern Nigeria.

Dependable NG reports that Shehu posted his opinion on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, arguing that if such a despicable crime had occurred in the North, the resulting media frenzy would have been dramatically different, attracting massive national and international attention.

Shehu asserted: “If this despicable act and crime was discovered anywhere in the North, the story would have been blown to high heaven. The incident would have been linked to Muslims, Islam, Hausa/Fulani, and soon the video would have been sent to Trump as ‘additional evidence,’” he claimed.

The political commentator further lamented the noticeable lack of follow-up coverage on the story, strongly implying that regional loyalty among journalists and media houses influenced the decision to quickly drop the sensitive report. He concluded: “The beauty of it all is that you will never hear about the story again because ‘blood is thicker than water.’”
