Omo, where law works. Look at the short time it even took to deliver judgment. Bring it down to Nigeria and compare it. First, for being a high profiled individual, he would have been released since.

Imagine they committed this crime in Nigeria 😒

How can you sentence a man that wrote to your embassy about his intention to take someone to UK for the purpose of organ donation.
The donor is not a minor.
What nonsense law do they practice in the uk

The boy was the problem, not the court.

In medicine and law(medical jurisprudence), once a consent for a procedure is withdrawn by the patient, the procedure, no matter how well intentioned, becomes illegal/criminal.

The stupid boy cunningly denied any knowledge of the proposed donation immediately he was told he didn't match and would be sent back to Nigeria.

Fortunately for him in the UK, he can't be threatened or manhandled to vomit the truth, as would have been the case in Nigeria.

Offences under the Modern Slavery Act attract consequences of life imprisonment.

and so?

how did the "the plethora of leniency pleas sent by prominent African individuals and organisations, in the form of letters posted to representatives of the British Government, influence the court in tempering justice with mercy"?

what is the mercy that was tampered in this case?

what was the thrust of those pleas?

who were the pelas addressed to? was it the executive, the legislator or the judiciary?

Their Country, their laws….if you do not like it stay in your country, case close.

This is a system that works.. if it would have been in my dear country, he wouldn’t even care to honor police invite not to talk of going to court..
A Senator in Nigeria in a foreign prison funny, shameful and defamation of name..

That is very commendable from the UK court, Peter Grigori obi will be next. UK immigrations please be at alert

amuda may get served first....going by the current exposures of his secret under dealings in the past.

Going by the court sentencing I watched. There can be no successful appeal of the judgement cos it was comprehensive and all legal angles to the case was thoroughly thrashed.

GeneralPula:
Omo!
Life sha!
How’s their daughters health condition now? What’s her fate?
Will UK still allow the transplants for her or what will UK do?

You want to donate the gal one of your own ni? 🤓

Fiyin007:


The judge has sentenced him to 10years already. Maybe his own cup is not yet full.shame

Ofcourse,that is the main culprit...He bribed the UK immigration service to get the boy into UK and this is not his first time havesting someone's kidney in the UK,Seems he has been into the business for some time now....The man still get tax evasion case of 25k pounds for UK.

sukkot:
ekweremadu is cursed. Boys beat am for Germany then another boy come jail am 10 years while his daughter need kidney

Exactly my thought.
the gods of his land have been on his case long before now.
He was not careful and observant enough.
His enemies finally caught up with him.

KingsCity:
This is grossly unfair

At least nobody’s organ was actually harvested

And he wrote to British Embassy and duly informed them of the purpose of his visit and they never advised him. Not like he sneaked into the UK to carry out the procedure


Nigeria should cut diplomatic ties with UK until this rubbish is reversed

Head dey pain you

Yes,and after Peter Obi American government will grab Agbado Drug lord and sentence him to death for good right?

So unfortunate. I hope his colleagues learn from this. He is a good father so I actually pity him. I do not beleive that guy was truly ignorant of the reason why he was taken to the UK as he claimed.

Perhaps this is Karma at work. Equip our own hospitals with world class equipments. Our doctors are among the very best in the world.

I hope the daughter gets a legal donor and wish her full recovery. May she live long and well to tell her own grandchildren about the great sacrifice of her parents. Ameen

[color=#990000][/color] The people of Dot nation has done it again.

EKWERE EKWERE ! don smell jail !

Arutan:


In my opinion this is very embarrassing and a shame to Nigeria. It’s unacceptable and should be paid back in same kind. This action humiliates us as a people and shows the arrogance of the British people in their treatment of Africans. For god sake , Ekweremadu was a former Deputy Senate President of Nigeria and as such should have been accorded diplomatic treatment.

Even if na former president..... and so what??

Lifestyle of jungle and lawlessness don master una

Dem no fit corner ds case with UK government
Omo see disgrace
If na here in Nigeria, dem for don forget say something like happen since

sageb:


It's been a long time, welcome back Sir.

Thanks

ncoolsome:



Are u aware that the said donor couldn't differiate a kidney from a liver??Do u know he was only given 270,000??

270,000 naira?

My God. Now i feel bad

A second is enough to make you or break you.



In this life just be humble because you don't know tomorrow. People, most especially the elites should stop carrying themselves as gods.

Please people with autority now,

build hospitals

Construct good roads

Establish better laboratories for research

Other wise one day your negligence will catch up with you or your own.

do it now.

If you have the opportunity today to save Nigeria please do it even if you wont have a perfect situation but just try with the imperfect thinking and effort.


please stop being wicked hearted.


Pls Pls I beg you all.


Dont stockpile money and die with out knowing where they are eventually.

whippersnapper:
what of tinubu who was arrested with heroin in the US. What should we now do to him

Arrested with heroin?

Where is the charge sheet? Any American citizen can obtain the charge sheet under FoI. Don't tell me the PDP and LP don't have a single US citizen in their ranks.

Strange we have not seen any charge sheet. Do rats and snakes eat documents in the US too?

This is good and the best way to teach these evil men that the world is watching them.

LagosFirstSon:

Nigerian corruption system made him and Tinubu big men

So Obi is a small man?

6 years each?

Ehuuuu!!
Your grandpa , the drug baron aja sheik shaki dady is the next.. ozuo!

This is so sad and unfortunate. I hope they appeal the sentencing. 10 years is damn too much.

United kingdom na wa,even his connections and looted billions couldn't save his sorry ass, Obasanjo yeye letter could not save his ass,last last everyone whether rich or poor go chop breakfast .no wonder when the politicians go abroad they behave themselves lol.

Ekweremadu messed up big time. I understand a father trying to save his dying daughter, but he went about it the wrong wrong way
