Times of India reports that Uba who arrived the country on a tourist visa in 2013 from Nigeria, created a fake hospital website and ran advertisements in some national papers where he promised to help his victims secure kidney donations.
Uba was said to have asked anyone in need of a kidney to contact him as he had a bank of kidneys to sell.
