I agree with you. The UK just had to set precedence and also make a landmark judgement with their case...

I only hope the brave guy you mentioned is duly protected sha because he could be a target sooner or later .....

N3TRAL:
At this point we cannot deny that the plethora of leniency pleas sent by prominent African individuals and organisations, in the form of letters posted to representatives of the British Government, influenced the court in tempering justice with mercy.

It's a fair conviction and sentence, especially, due to the fact that the case is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom brought under the Modern Slavery Act of 2015.

They'll become better Earth citizens when they complete their jail terms.

I hope that my pretty Sonia gets a legal donor and completes the transplant successfully before her parents are released.

I also wish the brave victim well and hope that he goes through a soothing integration into European culture and society. He is the Hero of the story.

Justice served..! Let’s wait for Tinubus turn. For those who understand how drugs can ruin a country, then there should be a measure of same meted out for drug use and sale for a President to be.

Badassniggga:
I only feel pity for the man. Is there a way he can appeal to this? Cos I thought he followed due process and informed relevant authories about the transplant.

And to others clapping and celebrating this news, y'all are myopic and cannot see beyond your noses. This is a big slap on the Nigerian leadership.

as if we have any good leadership before, if they had a good transplant centre here, will we be talking about organ harvesting?

Nice one
But he should've been sentenced to death by hanging.

Antipob777:
I urge Ike Ekwerenmadu to Appeal his conviction.

This is not in any way justice. We have documents proof that the senator write the UK Embassy officially notifying them about the kidney transparent.

This is mere witch hunting and I condemn it, I condemn it. I condemn it and I call on all Nigerians to rise up to their voices to demand for a fair justice.

The FG must as a matter of urgency sanction the British govt.

The British embassy should be shutdown immediately.
.all British companies or businesses in Nigeria should be shutdown immediately.

This is unacceptable and we condemn it, we condemn it, we condemn it.

seems you don't know what ekeremadu did...na you wan sanction British govt? on top say your country man commit crime for there...

Okay they will serve there jail term and come back to Nigeria to serve another one

Why is his wife serving a lesser sentence?
What happened with equality?

Why always this tribe for christ sake. Kilode gan gan.

Money is good but not everything and cannot solve every problem.

Rayban25:
You wont see any woman complaining that the wife Got a shorter sentence than are husband. Set awon"it goes both ways" clowns.

You can go to court and do the needful

Our God is good all the time
Any one who messed with Peter Obi will never go free, ask Ekweremadu or Mbaka.

Tinubu NEXT..

O my God! Awwwh...so sorry.

Nice one.

shortgun:
This is not justice but witch hunting.

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

You can go to court if you are not satisfied bro.

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

So darft of you, if you don't mention Peter Obi your monthly pay will not come. Shame on you druggie ass licker.

You have a point not witstanding the fact that the UK have existing laws against their move. It's quite sad they have to go through this in a bid to save a dying child. I hope they somehow get some state pardon before they serve the whole jail terms and that the dying child survives the ordeal.

He offered financial incentive for the organ and that's the crime.

Read and understand first before making dumb comments

Good lesson to all Nigeria politicians, fix your country amenities and institutions, pay good salary and build your own country for the better.

UK no be Nigeria. Simple lesson to be learnt.

They did not have to go through despicable and shameful means to get their daughter a kidney and if you watched the proceedings the judgement was eventually served on them because when they couldn't get to remove the boys kidney they started looking for other illegal donors within the UK and they got quite a list. If they weren't arrested they would have gotten another person kidney removed ILLEGALLY. Justice was well served here.

End of the roads, many igbo deprive from enjoying social amenities hence make them to be a nuisance on social media won't let igbo politicians have rest of mind

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

For what exactly?
Is he into drugs, unlike your principal who is known as Escobar the drug Lord.

Pure victory

Hope the David is happy now

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

It's easy, Kadoso Mutairu. You can board a plane to the UK and organize a 1 man protest. Maybe with that, they can hand over the Madu guy(I don't have the strength to type the whole name,😛) to you to bring back home to Tinubu. Everywhere cannot be like Nigeria where anything goes. You think people like you can be walking freely in saner climes?

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

do you think UK will fall for such antics? He thought he can dribble the UK authority like Nigeria.
This is where justice is served not bought.

*THE TRUE STORY BEHIND SENATOR IKE EKWERAMADU IMPRISONMENT IN UK*

SOME LITTLE DETAILS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IN THE EKWEREMADU CASE

By Emeka Ugwuonye, Esquire

David Ukpo Nwamini is the 21-year old Lagos street hawker who was to give his kidney to Ekweremadu’s daughter IN London. When he was interviewed at the hospital in London, they asked him if he knew he was to donate his kidney to Sonia Ekweremadu. He first told them that he had no money to donate. They explained to him that it was his kidney that he was to donate. He asked them what was kidney. Initially, the doctors thought it was a question of language, since David’s English was not good enough. However, they eventually understood that David didn't know which human organ was called kidney. In other words, he did not know what organ he was to give Sonia. That led the doctors to conclude that the procedure was not well-explained to David & that is the umber one requirement by law. According to the law, you must explain to the organ donor the procedure & all the health risks associated with the procedure. It is only then that the donor is taken to have informedly consented. When the doctors found that David didn't understand what he was about to get involved in, they declared him a mismatch.

The term “mismatch” is a technical generic language to indicate that the proposed organ harvesting has not met all the requirements. Many in Nigeria have misunderstood the term “mismatch” in this case to meant that David’s kidney was not suitable for Sonia. No! There was nothing wrong with David’s Kidney. To donate an organ, the facts must match both the law & the science governing the procedure. While the kidney matched the scientific requirement, the facts didn't match the legal requirement. So, it was declared a mismatch. To help you understand it better, the term “mismatch” means there is a discrepancy.

The doctors who interviewed David did not & could not have determined that a crime was committed. The doctors didn't have sufficient information to reach such conclusion then. They felt uncomfortable with the discrepancies in the information they had about the donor & his decisions & whether he had made up his mind. For instance, the doctors didn't get involved in how David was brought to them or whether he was paid. It was not their duty to deal with that. It was actually when Ekweremadu & Dr. Obinna attempted to return David to Nigeria that the problem started. David expected that he would be given a job in London as he was told before he left Nigeria. They didn't give him a job & they didn't send him to school. Instead of all he was promise, he was asked to prepare to return to Nigeria David ran away from the house where he was kept. As hunger wired him, he reported himself to the police. To win the immediate protection of the police, he lied about his age by telling them he was 15. It was when he was interviewed by the police that the information came out which established that a crime was committed. For instance, it was at the police station that they asked him if he was paid money & he said yes he was paid N270,000. When the police checked the WhatsApp chats between Ekweremadu & Dr. Obeta they realized that Ekweremadu actually paid 4.5m for Obeta to pay to David. *But Obeta only paid David N270,000 & pocketed the rest.*

In fact, Ekweremadu tried to keep himself away from certain details of the deal. That was why Ekweremadu never discussed money with David. In fact, he didn't deal directly with David. That was what made it possible for Obeta to cheat him. Ekweremadu believed that the 4.5m went to David. But since he was not dealing with David directly, he never knew that Obeta pocked most of the money. However, the law viewed Ekweremadu’s decision not to deal directly with David as a typical behaviour of a big man who knew that he is getting involvee in a crime. He would usually try to create some distance between him & the crime, yet he will be funding the crime from afar. Otherwise, how come you never wanted to meet the boy that is giving his kidney to your daughter & whom you called cousin to your daughter (which actually makes him your nephew)? Rather than see the non-direct dealing as evidence of his innocence, it was seen as deliberate or willful ignorance aimed at evading legal responsibility.

One of the key factors that worked against Ekweremadu was that he lied. On three official documents he signed, he stated that David was Sonia’s cousin. But in all the WhatsApp chats he had with the doctor & his own brother over the matter, he referred to David as “that guy”. Hence the question: “You knew he was not Sonia’s cousin. While you signed that he was her cousin, when you wanted to say the truth, you referred to him as “that guy”, meaning you didn’t know him or even remember his name”. Ekweremadu admitted in court that he lied and apologized.

*NOTE:* I decided to provide these details because I have read somewhere it was being said that David misled Ekweremadu & took advantage of him. No, David is a real victim. He didn't manipulate them. He was manipulated by Dr. Obinna Obeta, who was working for the Ekweremadu.

*LESSON:* Politicians learn to avoid syncophats, Dr Obete was the syncophat that distroyed Ekweremadu.

Sad end

Justice served

This is injustice. One useless boy sold his Kdney, then went to report to the Police that someone bought illegal goods from him. God will judge the boy.
