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.

Nice. Money isn't everything.

Straight to jail

Do the crime. Do the time. UK no be naija

Justice be served accordingly

It's not about money but morals and ethics.

The poor Nigerian man gets a drivers license without a test because of ethics not because he is rich . The poor prayer house warrior who disturbs the neighborhood every night is not in jail because of ethics not because he is rich. The poor tailor who reconnects his cable after it is cut for failure to pay electricity bills in not in jail because of ethics not because he is poor.


Let's get it straight, Ike's predicament isn't because he is wealthy. It is because the Nigerian ethics is different from the British ethics.

Organ trade is illegal and taken seriously in the UK.

If the ex deputy senate president put out an advert in Nigeria for kidney donors, he would receive more than 1000 replies with people ready to sell their kidney for as less as 20 million naira and as high as 200 Million naira.

As long as he pays the kidney donor the agreed sum, the kidney donor will be happy to get his millions and lift his family out of poverty with one working kidney 😂. The church will pray for the kidney donor to heal on time, his family will celebrate his/her escape from poverty , the medical doctors will be happy that they've finally found a kidney and the police will dare not arrest a father who spent money to treat his daughter. That's our orientation. It's our ethics in Nigeria.

In the UK, you do not have the right to buy a kidney even if the person agrees to sell his own kidney. It's a crime . That's what is called organ trade. To get a kidney, you must be included in a waiting list of prospective donees. Donation must not be paid for. You can't pass number 10 on the list and donate for number 11 on the list except your kidney or the organ you're donating doesn't match that of number 10. That's the ethics of the West.

In Nigeria people would actually call you stupid, idiot and useless for donating your kidney free of charge. In the UK, it is actually a crime to pay a donor. The donor gets nothing.

My judgment- I don't see anything wrong in changing the life of someone who chooses to donate his kidney by paying him millions for the donation.

I sympathize with the Ekweremadus. On the other hand, if politicians built good hospitals in Nigeria, the kidney donor and donee would be happy by now.

The guy no try any parent will go to any length for dere kid ..




Buh all the time wey he suppose use the money he looted to build world class hospital in his constituency he dey use am buy house build house up nd down for personal use now the property no fit rescue him....

A big lesson to learn here. There's a limit to what money can buy for you.

Bring the Case to Nigeria they won't be guilty.

So bad

Sit at home every Tuesday till Britain releases our senator

off course they are guilty!!!! even a blind man knows that.

This is what you get when you carry a Nigerian mentality abroad.
It pays to be upright in whatever you do. There is always a reward time for a fraudulent lifestyle especially to our politicians.

They Should be Sent to jail ASAP they always get away with everything in Nigeria through corruption and bribe seeking law enforcement officers

Eyaah, very sorry

The Appeal Court will throw away the case and acquit them.

The magistrate is using emotions and sentiment to interpret laws and pass judgment. Before, the court's only evidence of trafficking was that the young man is 15 years old and a minor, when that singular case was defeated, the jury and the magistrate started beating about the bush.

IPOB pigs can not survive if they don't commit crimes. Useless criminals.

Booked

Ok

Emmanuella Sedoo Amos will soon join.

Don't donate to Pals aid oooo

It's a warning ⚠️

So this is how Ekweremadu ended his political career, karma had finally caught up with him.a bad end.Nigeria politicians should learn from this.
