The young man involved in the controversial organ harvesting scandal that led to the arrest and detention of Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife Beatrice in the UK, David Nwamini Ukpo, has taken to the social media to tell his own side of the story.
According to David Nwamini in a Facebook post on Saturday, June 25th, he stated that he was allegedly lured from Nigeria to London for the harvesting of his kidney without his consent.
He claimed that they promised him a job and never told him about the donating any organ, adding that he got to know about the organ harvesting through the physician who was going to perform the procedure on him.
Recall, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife were arrested in the United Kingdom by the police and detained on allegations of child trafficking and organ harvesting after Ekweremadu had flown David to UK for the kidney transplant.
Ekweremadu and his wife were subsequently denied bail in court, and the case adjourned to July 7.
Entiled “My journey to UK”, Ukpo’s unedited post reads below
“On one fateful day I met a man named okoro in a building site where I was working for my daily bread, okoro told me he like me, he want to help me achieve my dream because he saw me as a great person. He told me could you like to work in UK I just started laughing because I don’t have money for that, then I told him no am not interested and asked me why I told him I don’t have money for that.
“He just started laughing to me and told me he is going to introduce me to senator his company in UK need workers, so he could start my visa processing.
“I have no other option than to accept the offered, after two day the man came to the building site again and told me the senator wanted to see me so we could start the visa processing, then I dropped my shovel and head pan and went to bath immediately.
“Mr okoro took me to unknown area where I haven’t been before, I was afraid maybe he is a money ritualist, I encouraged my self since I knew Mr okoro for a long time there will be no problem. Mr okoro hand me over to one young man wearing a suit, he told me everything about then I told him Mr okoro has already explain everything to me and I have accepted to work in UK.
I Was Promised A Job In The UK And Not Organ Donation – Ekweremadu’s Donor, David Tells His Story

Lagos Ibadan express gibberish. You guys are known for peddling fake news.
Faber: Abakaliki people are ruthless and wicked to other Igbos.
They only value their people. See Umahi attacking Peter Obi, see Umahi praising Buhari, whom he knows is nothing but a failure. Trust an Abakaliki man at your own peril
From preliminary investigation, Mr. David Ukpo Nwamini is from Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State and was living with his junior brother in Ikotun, Lagos and was engaged in selling of phone accessories with his brother before he left for London.
“From the information available to us, it appears that the said David Ukpo Nwamini is not a MINOR as his junior brother, he was living with is said to be above 20 years of age and if that is the case, then David Ukpo Nwamini might have misinformed the London Police or the London Police was very hasty in reaching a conclusion in declaring Mr. David Ukpo Nwamini a MINOR.
Abakiliki people have bad character and they always display it everywhere.
Ekweremmadu should atleast feel how it pains when we complain that these Abakiliki boys have created so much insecurity in anambra state in the name of Ipob and ugm.
They are violent and ready to fight and exploit you but will be the first to cry victims like their state Governor always do on national television.
Curious346: David wamini , the ogoni boy from river state and potential organ donor to sen ekwerenmadu's daughter .
Dude was a hard baller .. 70% of his payment would have been received upfront even before he left the shores of Nigeria to the UK..
A kidney donor would charge as high as 100m naira .. so what happens next ? How will sen ekwerenmadu get back the 70m he paid this dude?
Who will save the preety daughter of Sen ekwerenmadu,who is currently gravely ill and awaiting an urgent life saving kidney transplant?
Lfact remains that this dude was a traitor and betrayer and lier ..
He already had a back up plan even before he left Nigeria for the purported kidney donation .
He was scared of making that donation ,even after receiving a humongous upfront payment running into tens of millions ..
So what did he do?
As soon as he got into the UK, he cooked up lies against ekwerenmadu,claiming his age was falsified and that he was forced into the entire medical project ..
This is what happens when you recruit a yahoo inclined boy to be your life saver .he or she will steal from you ,betray you and leave you for dead..
May God save and help Sen ekwerenmadu's daughter , and may she not die from David wamini's folly...
I will rather end being a Nairalander than be Bravetunde that spends all his life supporting foolish Igbos that will cannibalize him one day if cares not taken.
Ebi2233: Bravetunde for once in your life you talk like Ijaw. We care for others but we don't like it when we are being taken advantage of or they try to take advantage of us.
Why concerned about others? You should face them and know why they loosed. Wasting so much energy to mock ndigbo but it was backfires at you guys...Make una go collect una party ticket naa
Not necessary. Understand Nigeria political space. They knew labour was out but will carry the news if labour scoredd 5k votes just to demoralize the masses.
Frigga13: Why is it difficult for Obi to get a Northern Muslim from core North east / west
Who is he coaliating with..
Thought igbo votes and igbo Catholics will make him president
Or rather still why is he afraid to front a Christian Christian ticket since the Nigerian youths are with him Same with students and the lest 48 million Nigerians
Simply not serious
Power to the people!! Atiku/ okowa is bae
North 2023
Go and sleep.
I detest noise maaakeerrrs. Too many words doesn't fill a basket.
chrisxxx: Lol. Put all Nnamdi Cownu cousins vote together both in APC and PDP it is no where near the votes of one of them. Majority tribe that contends with minority. See where Yorubas and Hausas/Fulani are. Stop stooping low to compete with the Ikwerres.
Anuofia. Which votes are you putting together? Go and lick your wounds. Na only APC and pdp dey Nigeria. Dem for give una Amadi people ticket naaa....all of you people from that axis suucccckkss.... Tufiakwa.
AmehTsaev: Ebubeagu is definitely in Anambra state and even covertly operational already, I think Ebonyi is the only state that openly declared Ebubeagu operational among all the SE states, they are operational in a coded kind of way in Imo state and now Anambra...Enugu and Abia have useless governor's who are yet to implement regional security.
There is no ebubeagu in anambra secretly or covertly. What operates in anambra state is community by community vigilante with their own uniforms and shares Information with neighboring community. Obiano neither soludo approved the ebubeagu of a thing.
Rather each community was equipped to secure their lands as Ihiala and other neighboring communities are doing. Ebubeagu doesn't exist here.
NwaforIgbo: Anambra needs to plan towards building high-rise cbd along the river Niger.
As trading City and industrial state. Anambra needs High rise to beautify its skyline.
I remember Soludo mentioned building something like that along the Niger, my wish is that he sets the ball rolling before he lives office.
The problem WITH Anambra business men and most Igbo businessmen is that they always want to take their companies or big project to their village. That way development will come slowly.
Imagin Dr. Maduka building his medical research center Along the River Niger, won't it motive at others who have substandard building to upgrade? I know our Igbo people, when they see something better than theirs, they will try to catch up.
That is why I am not a fan of building in rural area while ignoring the city.
I swish the bank of River Niger will have so thing like this on this pics.
gidgiddy: [s]Atiku is desperate to be President, who can blame him? He will be almost 80 in 2027, it is 2023 or never.
Atiku knows that with the emergence of Tinubu as APC candidate, his chances of winning in the South West is very slim. To win the Presidential elections, Atiku needs to win big in the SE/SS area. His Vice Presidential candidate had to come from either of these two zones. Atiku knew he could not afford to alienate Igbos so he decided to chose someone from the South/South, but someone who was Igbo or "Igboid". This way, he could hold on to the two zones
As things would have it, outside the South East, there were two Igboid Governors , Nyesom Wike and Ifeanyi Okowa. However, in the case of Nyesom Wike, he had already publicly denied being Igbo, something Ifeanyi Okowa wisely never did. Wike offended many Igbos, who saw him as one of them, when he denied being Igbo. He made it far worse when he invited the military into Obigbo over ENDSARS violence, which he blamed on IPOB. Obigbo is an Igbo area that had been carved out of Imo State in 1976 and added to Rivers state
Atiku made the right choice with Okowa, Wike had made himself politically toxic by denying being Igbo, as well with the Obigbo affair
Atiku desperately needs the Igbo vote and went for the one who is yet to deny being Igbo[/s]
Enough of all these Igbo bla bla.
If you are insecure then face your life. Igbo this Igbo that.
Face your Ipob business and Ipob stupidity. As if okowa even sabi who u be.
I don't know if una go chop all these I deny Igbo, I no deny Igbo.
Ndia ala.
Give Wike kudos for dealing mercilessly with Ipobs in Oyigbo. Ragtags and cannibalistic separatist animals..ipob
NkanuSon: I will say it again,"an ebonyi person hate other igbos bcs of their achievements", Simon ekpa is using sit at home to kill anambra state bcs anambra is the economic hub of igboland,that why their main focus on sit at home is in anambra state,u guys can even here umahi utterance about peter obi all bcs of hate for an anambra man,they hate u people to the extent they can do anything to kill your progress and they have seen sit at home as the best means.if obi scales through to 2023 elections bet me abakaliki people will use no election in biafra land to stop peter obi from becoming president and the present fulanis government will buy that idea bcs fulanis and yorubas will also do anything to stop an Igbo man from becoming president that's why they will use insiders from abakaliki to kill it,bet me they are working with the Nigerian government presently.umahi and Simon ekpa has thesame agenda don't be decieves bcs they claim to be igbos,they only do so to achieve their aim Anambra people should wise up fast if not more terror is coming to kill u people and your livelihoods and stop your progress,am from nkanu in enugu and I know this people very well,they have inferiority complex to other igbos that why they want to kill our progress,u guys have to know our enemies are not just outsiders Anambra people u have to distance yourself from abakaliki people bcs they will be used to kill peter obi presidential ambition and kill anambra state economy.if u people won't wise up now more is coming
Umuazi Abakiliki aburo mmadu, we have been saying it for a long time.
They are off Igbo spec. Even in national assembly they always connive with Fulanis to fight Anambra lawmakers. Obi ojoo fa di too toxic.
Ebubu3: Ogbeni you no fit do zilch. You hear me so?
Thunder strike your entire family down there
Ezi ohia
You have been warned. Bring up Ebonyi name for ridicule and you go collect wotoporiously. I don't know why river Niger people don't like to remove Ebonyi name from their insulting mouths.
Keep on at it. Obi wasn't even going to win Ebonyi but I'll make sure I discourage the few elements who might give him less than 1 thousand votes. Your arrogance and insults caused it.
