UK Doctor Obinna Obeta Charged For Conniving With Ekweremadu Over Kidney Harvest by dre11(m): 8:48am On Jul 23, 2022
A London based medical doctor has joined Senator Ike Ekweremadu and wife, Beatrice, in the dock in the United Kingdom (UK) over alleged plot to harvest the kidney of a homeless Nigerian.

Obinna Obeta, 50, of Hillbeck Close, Southwark, southeast London, appeared at Bexley Magistrates’ Court on 13 July, accused of conniving with the Ekweremadus to arrange for the travel of Ukpo Nwamini David (21) from Nigeria to the UK.

Obeta is also alleged to have conspired with the former Deputy Senate President to arrange or facilitate the travel of David with a view to exploiting him via organ harvesting.

The charges come under the Modern Slavery Act, according to The Mail of London.

Prosecutors claim the Ekweremadus planned to have David’s kidney removed so it could be given to their daughter.

David is said to have refused to consent to the procedure after undergoing tests at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, north-west London.

The prosecutors are also accusing the Ekweremadus of treating David as a slave before he escaped and went to Staines police station in Surrey.

The couple were arrested at Heathrow Airport on June 21 after arriving on a flight from Turkey and appeared at the Old Bailey today for a bail hearing.

The couple denied wrongdoing or that there was a criminal conspiracy, and claim no exploitation occurred.

Prosecutor Tim Probert-Wood said previously that the case involved ‘exploitation and the harvesting of an organ.’

David had, on 5 May, 2022, presented himself at Staines Police Station alleging he was transported to the UK for the purpose of his kidney being removed.

He arrived in London on 20th February 2022 and was taken to Royal Free Hospital where tests were conducted.

“For the purpose he was there he did not consent to the taking of his kidney,” the prosecutor said.

“He returned to the house he was staying and his treatment changed dramatically.

“He described being treated effectively as a slave.”

Ike and Beatrice were arrested in the UK on 21 June after flying in to Heathrow from Turkey.

Martin Hicks, QC, defending Ike, has said: ‘We deny that there was any exploitation or any intent to do so.

‘The argument will be factual denial.’All three defendants, who are in custody, are due to appear at the Old Bailey on August 4.

Better country where nobody is above the law of the land irrespective of your status in society. Nothing like "Do You Know Who I Am?" when arrested.
Most of the crimes we get away with here, will land you in jail over there.

UK and their subtle racist attitudes. I can bet that there may be other white doctors who may have attended to the Ekweremadus in the process, but if by chance there is a Nigerian amongst them (even if he has lived and practiced in the UK all his life), they will find a way to single him out and rope him into the accusation. That's how they do.

If it was Nigeria, they'd have white washed Ike Ekweremadu, by now he would have become Saint Ekweremadu, only Jesus would be more righteous.

I am telling you from a point of knowledge. You're speaking from ignorance. Let me give you a real live example. A patient spent some weeks in a UK hospital and died later. The relevant authority decided to investigate and sanction any doctor that was found complicit or negligent in the death. The patient was seen by over 7 doctors while in admission, one of them being a Nigerian. It was the case note of the Nigerian doctor that they kept investigating over and over, looking for what to find wrong. And they has hope that If hey found any, they will close the case and hammer sanctions on him.
As for Ekweremadu, we all saw that he wrote to the UK high commission, clearly spelling out why visa was being sought for the guy and it was approved. Did you see the UK authorities prosecuting their people at the high commission? And also, such a process will involve a lot of medical referral. Do you in your bigoted mind think it's only this doctor that happens to be a Nigerian that was in the process.
When I saw the headline, I didnt even need to read the news to know that the guy that has been slammed must be a Nigerian

You write with a lot of prejudice and it is exactly why till the end of time, your people would always be victims.

Stop the bullshitting.

UK is not Nigeria where you go about breaking the law.

Ekweremadu and Obeta are finished.

Know this and know peace.

Never agree to help the wicked carry out their evil act, if you do, when it's time for them to be punished, you will be punished along with them.

As for the guy below me, someone should help me tell him to stop posting graphic photos on Nairaland first page.
