KingsCity:
This grossly unfair if true

At least nobody’s organ was actually harvested

And he wrote to British Embassy and duly informed them of the purpose of his visit and they never advised him. Not like he sneaked into the UK to carry out the procedure


Nigeria should cut diplomatic ties with UK until this rubbish is reversed

Informing the British embassy is not the issue.

The issue is that the victim was not aware he was going to UK to donate his kidney.

This is how Tinubu and his propaganda altitude should be considered prison over how he got funsho Williams killed and claim saint for himself to become Nigeria president in the future.. That is why both adults and children are working against him this time around, God cannot be morked whatsoever a man sow shall surely reap

DisLifeSha:
Good sentence. UK no be Nigeria

No be say u talk...a Country where 'sane' people will go to any length to defend a confirmed Drug lord to help them fight corruption. Omase o

That is very commendable from the UK court, Peter Grigori obi will be next. UK immigrations please be at alert

Common sense is never common.
Hope you know that £11million can build a modern hospital.
Pls can you ask yourself how did the buy make such amount of money to buy such a mansion in UK? What is his source of income and wealth?
The UK govt will soon push its searchlight to money laundering cases of Nigerian politicians

Torpedo23:


And the victim whose world has changed because of Ekweremadu's crime?

Una think say God be like una wey go always support the oppressors over the oppressed.
Dey dia dey play.

The judge read out that the boy is living a solitary life in the UK now and he's even afraid to return back to Nigeria to avoid persecution from Ekweremadu sympathisers which the judge understood and agrees with.

If not for all the begging Ekweremadu would have been given 20 years

r231:


your head dey dia jare

It's been a long time, welcome back Sir.

GOOD NEWS

JUSTICE WELL SERVED


IKE NO GO FOLLOW ENJOY AND BENEFIT FROM TINUBU'S GUNMENT AGAIN. TO THINK THAT HE IS THE ONLY IGBO POLITICIAN I HATE WITH PASSION, THE MOST USELESS, SELFISH,GREEDY,WICKED AND HEARTLESS ASSLICKING IGBO POLITICIAN.

HAD IT BEEN THIS THING HAPPENED IN NIGERIA, OUR USELESS POLICE WILL FIRST DETAIN THE INNOCENT BOY FOR ONE YEAR BEFORE SENTENCING HIM AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY TO PRISON.

UK THANK YOU O

COME AND WORK AGAINST PETER OBI AGAIN

MOTHER FUCKER

Indeed he deserved it..develop your country una go say no..they for add extra sef...

Rayban25:
You wont see any woman complaining that the wife Got a shorter sentence than are husband. Set awon"it goes both ways" clowns.

gendar fight have full your brain

the man is more involved than the woman

can't you see the doctor getting the highest punishment? because he's a professional that is expected to know more

This is the law of karma. uote author=shortgun post=122947356]This is not justice but witch hunting.

How can you sentence a man that wrote to your embassy about his intention to take someone to UK for the purpose of organ donation.
The donor is not a minor.
What nonsense law do they practice in the uk

They lied that the boy was a relative and they were able to get the boy visa with their connections in Nigeria using false information.
Even though the donor isn't a minor, He is just 21 and they obviously were exploiting him.

Justice served.

Wow

Arutan:


In my opinion this is very embarrassing and a shame to Nigeria. It’s unacceptable and should be paid back in same kind. This action humiliates us as a people and shows the arrogance of the British people in their treatment of Africans. For god sake , Ekweremadu was a former Deputy Senate President of Nigeria and as such should have been accorded diplomatic treatment.

Keep quiet...you people are so used to corruption and injustice that when justice is served very fast you're surprised...UK is not Nigeria it's good for two of them

Diplomatic treatment my foot.

In all of these, I blame the. Doctor who got into this mess. It beats my imagination why sen Ike cannot pay for a kidney and non of his family members could donate a kidney to save Sonia's life, instead he cut corners. I feel for Sonia to be honest

Thank God we don't have such hospital that can carry such operation in Nigeria, the boy would have just bn kidnapped and use for the transplant, the funny part is, his body will be dump somewhere by the gutter.

Mr Diplomatic, I hope you been following up on the story and read the part where it says the guy (victim) cannot read or write

Build standard hospitals in Nigeria, they refuse

They fly abroad for every health issues, even the incoming president select can't do checkup or take a rest in the Lagos he developed

Oloriburuku no gbogbo yin and all your supporters, rot in jail, at least UK prison is better than the butt-hole all of you turned Nigeria to with bad governance

Something that can be done easily here! Lesson number one
Be kind to your family(extended)!

Fiyin007:


By whom The judge read out that the boy rejected the monetary compensation he stood to benefit from the Ekweremadus FYI.

Hey,the Ekweremadu's said they gave Dr. Obote 5.7m for the boy and he said he gave the boy 1.3m....Obote's own case with the UK,the boy and the relationship he made the boy claime he had with sonia is still under investigation...Go chill.

This should serve as a very big lesson to all politicians in Nigeria. If this can happen to the powerful Ike Ekweremadu, it can as well happen to any other person (politicians).
What Nigerians are demanding from these politicians is a better Nigeria, so tell me if Ike Ekweremadu had done the needful as the deputy senate president by setting up a standard hospital in Nigeria, do you think, this would have happened to him. What our politicians are interested in is their immediate interest and nothing more.
I keep on wondering what a politician in Nigeria will use 40 houses in all parts of the world to do. How many rooms will a politician sleep at a time, but , they are not bothered.
As Ekweremadu is now, am optimistic that he is regretting all that happened, but the question is will our politicians ever learn from this Ekweremadu saga.

How can you sentence a man that wrote to your embassy about his intention to take someone to UK for the purpose of organ donation.

1. The donor is not a minor.

2. What nonsense law do they practice in the uk

1. Not a minor, agreed. Do you think if the boy was fully in the know of their plans & he gave his consent without any financial inducement, there would be any case?

2. The kind of nonsense laws that can attract & make your president experience an extended stay to the point he prefers to rule from there. Not to mention other Nigerians desperately seeking to be there.

Not every country condone lawlessness.

I'm sure they will appeal and still lose the case. I hope Nigeria is learning....they wouldnt have been convicted here, let alone sentenced. If only all lives are treated equally! How much of what they've stolen in Nigeria is worth their freedom now? Money that could have been put to good use in our hospitals.

The judge has sentenced him to 10years already. Maybe his own cup is not yet full.shame

Obj should reduce the sentence

Do not blame the Doctor.
He is the fool for sacrificing his long years of medical training for filthy lucre. He should know better and should have ran away from " all appearances of the devil".
On the part of the Oga, he was just trying to be clever by half. Half of the stress and funds could have gotten the job done in a less regulated India and some part of Asia.
