A former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice, have been found guilty of organ trafficking in the United Kingdom.

The duo alongside their daughter, Sonia, and a medical doctor, Dr. Obinna Obeta, were found guilty of facilitating the travel of a young man to Britain with a view to his exploitation after a six-week trial at the Old Bailey.

They criminally conspired to bring the 21-year-old Lagos street trader to London to exploit him for his kidney, the jury found on Thursday.

The judge, Justice Jeremy Johnson, will pass a sentence at a later date, The Guardian UK reports.

Ahhh. Front page please, so sad

UK no be Nigeria.
Knew they will be found guilty.
Cos the main intention of financing the boy was to harvest his organ.
His age or consent seems 8nconsewuential towards proving innocence.
Let the jury just be merciful in his sentence

E don be for her.
Something in me dey pity them but the law is the law. They should do the time.

But make we talk truth sha.
That boy sef wicked o, all because he want UK citizenship.

He could had personally settle this amicably with Ekweremadu family and still not donate his organ.

Fakeee

Prosecutors told the Old Bailey trial that the victim was brought to the UK in 2022 to provide a kidney in an £80,000 private transplant at the Royal Free Hospital, London. The organ was to be removed and given to the couple's daughter, Sonia, aged 25 - she was cleared of the same charge.

It's very real

I knew this man was not coming back anytime soon.

Nothing less than 14 years jail term.

Flat heads should NEVER be allowed to lead.

President Tinubu must enact a law for former SW Governors to rule SE.

Herbert Macaulay to Imo, Ambode to Enugu, Ajimobi to Abia. A dead SW Governor is 100x better than SE leaders combined.
