They still do more transplants than we do in Nigeria which tells us it is not a nonsense law

What is nonsense is what is happening inside your head
The UK also has a law that allows organs to be removed from dead bodies unless they put it in writing in advance that they do not want that to happen.

What is important is they have spent HOURS debating the law and having public hearings before finally voting and passing it into law 18 years ago

We in 2022 are still paying vulnerable people for their body parts

I’m just laughing at illiterate nairalanders bashing the guy like you all want the boy to said he gave consent to donate his organ, and you think UK court is useless with your own court abi no be the same UK court that stopped Immigrants deportation to Rwanda recently.

The simple truth is when you have a law in black and white and are in a court system that works there is no room for games and pranks.

The court looks at the letter of the law and if you are in contravention you are going down.
So the question here is was payment offered, negotiated, agreed in exchange for a transplant ? YES OR NO

That is what the court will look at .
If yes it is an offence . So One would expect Ekweremadu to deny that money was offered

Next the court would consider why the body agreed to donate an organ if not for money why? Maybe they are family or very close and he did it out of love.

The court would like to hear that story

It is very easy to distil the issues and avoid distracting arguments
Money offered for kidney = Yes or No
Simples
