Former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu Finally Bags 9 Years And Eight Months In UK Jail Over Organ Harvesting

A former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has been jailed in the UK. According to the sentence handed down by a UK court today, he will serve 9 years and eight months in prison. He was jailed for plotting to traffic a young man to the UK to harvest his organ for their sick daughter in a legal first, according to Metro UK. Following a landmark modern slavery case, multi-millionaire Senator Ike Ekweremadu, 60, his wife Beatrice, 56, and medical ‘middleman’ Dr Obinna Obeta, 51, were found guilty at the Old Bailey in March.

Their victim, a poor street trader in Lagos, was brought to the UK to provide a kidney for the Ekweremadus’ 25-year-old daughter Sonia. He fled in fear of his life and walked into a police station exactly a year ago to report what had happened after the Royal Free Hospital called a halt on the private £80,000 procedure. In a televised sentencing on Friday, Mr Justice Johnson recognised Ike Ekweremadu’s ‘substantial fall from grace’ as he jailed him for nine years and eight months.
