Sen. Ekweremadu And Wife, Beatrice
A United Kingdom Court, has found Nigeria Senator, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice and Dr. Obinna Obeta, guilty of the organ-trafficking plot, which involved bringing a 21-year-old man to the UK
Senator Ekweremadu, 60, his 56 years old wife and the 50 years of doctor, were convicted of conspiring to exploit the man for his kidney, in the first such case under modern slavery laws.
The Old Bailey heard the organ was for the couple’s daughter, Sonia, aged 25.
She was cleared of the same charge.
The victim, a street trader from Lagos, was brought to the UK last year to provide a kidney in an £80,000 private transplant at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
He said he was promised opportunities in the UK for helping, and that he only realized what was going on when he met doctors at the hospital.
