They'll be set free if it is proven the boy is above 18 years. Below are UK guidelines for donating a Kidney. You may hate Nigerian politicians but the Ekweremadus may have broken no laws.

So is it up to Ekweremadu to tell the court that the boy is a willing donor..or it is the boy that will tell the court that he is a willing donor. If Ekweremadu says the boy chose to do it willingly and the boy says he chose to do it for money and promise of a better life, who do you think the court will believe. You also need to understand that the boy has been with the police, they are extracting information from him, proof of conversation, negotiation,all of that, they would have promised him better life,
Do you have the complete charge...let them come up with the charges, they have so much to deal with. Going to Turkey with 20kUSD to purchase kidney(do you think the police will throw that charge up without having solid proof, like tapped up conversation)..it's beyond the boy's age...

shantti:


Please which wicked side of him did he show. Can u prove that he actually consented to giving away his kidney.
Can you proved that he wasn't deceived with a lucrative job offer in the UK by the ekweremadus.
If you can prove these, then I will consider the boy to be ungrateful

If they can be so proud of beating their father's, izit another persons father they won't beat?

WTF? Absolute trash!

You’re still verifying my position as before which reads that delta state was a part of the old eastern region hence they are a part of the igbo nation aka Biafra

All these other things you stated which were rubbish brought into play by Gowon to reduce the power and landmass of the igbos is secondary.

Thank you for your verification of popular opinion

The Rich already have that Money, so dont need to sell their Organs, to raise Money.

You read that trash like I did?
Like the whole thing is riding on the boy’s age. Like the courts don’t have damning evidence.
Not that it’s needed but Like a country well-advanced in medical research doesn’t have scientific proof of his age by this time.
Some of these guys don’t understand what sane minds see as exploitation.

I can’t wait to learn what lead to the modern slavery charges. I think the couple had taken his passport and was controlling his movement like the Middle Easterners do to their househelp and laborers.

Stop being emotional. The way the UK does not let you off if you commit a crime is how the justice system there has to estsblish guilt conclusively rather than convict frivolously to please a lynch mob or haters.

The whole case is built on the boy being a minor. If he is not, and it can be shown he is a consenting adult, then the case against the Ekweremadus collapses.

As simple as that even if that is not what the Nigerian lynch mob wants to hear.

MufasaLion:


Most Nigerians still don't understand what a working system is. I hope the Ekremadus face the full wrath of the law. Useless politician with no positive impact in his constituency after almost 2 decades in Senate.

A Doctor of Law breaking laws . I don't pity him.

You deserve a kiss for this point.
Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law and doctors of jurisprudence are known for leaving no stone unturned before making big decisions, largely because courts hold us to a higher standard.
The couple’s lawyers are idiots in my eyes. They emphasized the Ekremadus‘ education and credentials when pleading for bail. Didn’t they stop to realize that placing emphasis on their education, credentials, and accomplishments reinforced the idea that they should’ve known and acted better?

No it isn’t. The crimes they are charged with aren’t age-specific. Indians and Middle-Easterners are charged with the same crimes due to their actions with people (usually maids) well over the age of consent, even the elderly, all the time. Please tell us which of their charges is exclusive to victims being minors.

Organ harvesting: Again, UK Court remands Ekweremadu in police custody
•Case may be tried in Nigeria, as Federal High Court hears Ekweremadu's application today, prosecutor insists
July 1, 2022


Former Deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, was, again, remanded in police custody, yesterday, by the Uxbridge Magistrate Court, in the UK, following insistence by the prosecutor that the alleged kidney donor, David Nwamini, was 15 years old.

Ekweremadu had appeared in court, alongside his wife, Beatrice Nwanneka, for alleged organ harvesting, but his wife was absent in court, yesterday.

Last week, the London Metropolitan Police had arrested and charged Ekweremadu and his wife with allegedly bringing a child to the UK for organ harvesting.

The UK police had said the alleged donor, later identified as Ukpo Nwamini David, was 15 years old, but his passport data page showed he was born on October 12, 2000, making him 21 years and eight months old.

During the proceedings, yesterday, Ekweremadu was in the dock, where he confirmed his name and date of birth.

The prosecutor said bail could not be applied to Ekweremadu, because he is a “powerful” man, who is a flight risk, insisting that the “organ donor” in question is a 15-year-old boy.

The U.K. government will take note of every slip up by the laywers to nail their clients the more. I'm very happy this happening in the U.K. and not Nigeria.

Dsalvo:


Age is pertinent in this case per the boys own claim. Once established he is not a vulnerable minor as claimed, then the consideration will now be that everything else he asserted is a lie.

It will then be his word against that of the Ekweremadus. Adults facing adults. I guess tou see where this is going. The jury will find it hard to view someone who lied about their age as credible.

1stGenAmerican:


My hope if that Nigerian lawyers and the few Nigerian lawmakers with integrity are taking note of this case in order to use it as blueprints to (eventually) bring justice to the people that this happens to inside Nigeria. If some of the same laws on modern slavery and trafficking is ever adopted and enforced by Nigeria, hundreds of rich people who use young children as househelp would be sitting in jail.

1stGenAmerican:


That moniker can’t prove anything just like the Ekweremadus can’t prove anything. They find it easier to demonize the weaker party.

Nigerians think the boy changed his mind and willingly told the hospital staff everything but greater minds like you and I know that in order to rule out exploitation, the doctors and staff questioned him, making the questions appear very innocent in order to get the most truth out the boy. Credible reports say it was the doctor and hospital staff, all mandated reporters, who were suspicious and alerted the police but these Nigerians can’t accept that so the blame everything on the boy.
I believe that even before he arrived in the UK, when they first told the doctors that they located a donor not related to them, suspicion was sparked and when they arrived with the boy, their suspicions were confirmed. We know that’s how things happen in sane places but these Nigerians can’t think that realistically, they have to place blame on the boy and paint him as the villain. Some poor people have a strange, serious hate for other poor people and love their oppressors.
Many Nigerians suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.

MufasaLion:


We still have some good lawyers with integrity but the system is too corrupt to let them correct the wrongs. We can only hope for the best.

As we say in America, you’re my peoples and I’m never going to give up hope on the righteous rising above the corrupt and morally bankrupt. Sweetheart, all is not lost in Nigeria. It ain’t over.

CheapHomes1:


Why, When, where and how did he offer to donate his kidney?

1stGenAmerican:


You’re wrong. The case is built upon the complaints the mandated reports made to the police. People keep forgetting that the police were alerted by the doctor/hospital staff, not the boy. The claims were asserted by the doctor(s) and although age was mentioned, it was not the driving variable in their reporting. Cases are built using reports from credible sources and evidence.

It’s the word of the mandated reporters+evidence against the word of the Ekweremadus. The boy may not even be called to the witness stand and chances are he won’t be. The jury will base their decision on evidence, not hearsay.

If 15-22 year olds in sane countries had the power to have people locked up solely on claims without the backing of credible sources, just about all parents, teachers, and authority figures in my country and many other countries would be in jail!

MufasaLion:


Right! Political consciousness is already reawakening now.

1stGenAmerican:


Guess what? Americans, especially Black Americans get demonized but during EndSARS, all eyes were on Nigeria, especially with older Americans, both Black and White. And they were cheering. You know why Bro? It was nearly a carbon copy of the start of the Civil Rights Movement which started for the same reasons EndSARS did: the youth had had Enough and they didn’t see the logic of the “old ways” that things were done. The time will come when Americans and other Westerners will provide tangible support (eg funds, learning tools) for those responsible for the reawakening. If a bunch of slave descendants fought and won civil rights from oppressive Whites, why can’t blacks turn the system upside-down in a country of Blacks oppressing Blacks? Shit, look at South Africa, they slayed the monster called apartheid. It might take years but please come back to quote me and give me accolades when it starts to happen.

Whether the police were alerted by the Doctors or hospital staff does not invalidate the fact that the police have to carry out thorough investivations to establish facts before deciding to charge the Ekweremadus.

The boy would have been interviewed with a statement taken from him that would essentially form the basis upon which it was decided the Ekweremadus be charged to Court.

I.e crown prosecution service, after inspection of statements and interview recordings, agreed the Ekweremadus be charged on the prima facie case of bringing a child to the UK for organ harvesting. It is as simple as that.

Charges cannot be changed midway to accommodate the discovery of lies principal to initial charges filed. That is why cases collapse.

Let us see how it goes.
