He changed his mind and u want to force him, na by force to donate?

emmykk:


Read properly he didn't change his mind,his system didn't match with that of Sonia so they wanted to bring him home

tinsel:

Is that how you reason? Somebody can just from nowhere promise you job in Uk ? You believed the nonsense the boy wrote?

1stGenAmerican:


No they didn’t. They were at the airport waiting to board a flight to Turkey when they were arrested, not Nigeria. Instead of escorting him home, they were going to abandon him in the UK, leaving him stranded.

1stGenAmerican:


The point you made is golden. In order for them to be arrested and denied bail, there was sufficient evidence with a good possibility of a conviction. They were also arrested at the airport, trying to catch a flight to Turkey which was probably for ill intent. Why wouldn’t they escort the boy back to Nigeria? Because they’re evil, thought they were above the law, and had ill intent to begin with.
These Nigerians really think that this boy actually obtained his passport and submitted his visa paperwork on his own when those of us with sense know that he probably was incapable, financially and otherwise, of doing so. The onus will be on the person who wrote the high commission and applied for the visa and we already know who that is. I wouldn’t be surprised if the person that Ike paid to falsify documents has already thrown him under the bus.
About a point you made earlier, I’m a lawyer and I wouldn’t waste time or money applying for a visa until I had tangible evidence (a signed and videotaped statement) from the person I intended on taking overseas. They both knew better they just thought that professionals in the UK were stupid. The doctor contacted the police and I am sure he had cause (beyond the boy’s statement) to do so.

These are some of the same people that claimed Hushpuppi would outsmart the justice system and walk out of prison here in the US with all of his stolen money. When he pled guilty, the armchair attorneys were silent. This is the same shit, different case.

zedegit:


You didn't answer the question. Is there no hospital to confirm if he's a suitable match in Nigeria?

Agadinaagwuofe:



There is no golden point made. The magistrate only needed to know they are "flight risk" and a "proof" that a crime has been committed(which is the boy testimony) on UK soil to sign off arrest warrant and not any "sufficient evidence" like you assume. Again the doctor and metropolitan police don't need any "weighty evidences" to make arrest as long as the boy provided a testimony that he is a minor that alone "is enough" to institute a case. Being flight risk and prosecutors requesting to contact UK attorney General is the reason for remand till 7th july and has nothing to do with "tendered evidences"

You are just being presumptive about the issue. I have no horse in the race but the objective thing is to wait for the metropolitan police to present other evidences they have. From all they have shown, there is no other tangible evidence aside the boy's testimony.

Fahdiga:
Whatever that is the outcome of this case, Ike Ekweremadu has ruined his reputation.

emmykk:


That can't be true.The boy just don't want to come home

APC2:
Ekweremadu has four children, one of them should donate to his/her sister. Simple. Don't use other people children

1stGenAmerican:


The original story as well as all others says that they were arrested at Heathrow Airport while awaiting a flight to Turkey.
The doctor alerted the authorities not the boy, so are you saying that the doctor didn’t want him to go home?

drnoel:


That is the work of people trying to destroy his credibility. Then again the rigmarole the UK government and media used here is shameful. I do hope he sues them to retract their stories and tender apologies if he wins the case

1stGenAmerican:


Because he already paid someone at the agencies to falsify documents to support his lie, thinking that the UK courts will fall for it. He applied for the visa so he provided all the boy’s information to the embassy. The onus is on him.

Agadinaagwuofe:


Paid which people? are you aware he has an established BVN done in 2019 revealing his age before he even met Ekweremadu's for the organ donor? are you also aware that there are testimonies from his brothers in Nigeria saying he wasn't a minor. you can't even mask your prejudice.

Nigerian politicians deserve all they get but again that shouldn't make anyone be illogical.

redseason:

Look at how you just disgraced yourself now. Typical bring him down mentality! No one here likes Ekweremadu because he was DSP for 12 years, has been in government for more than 2 decades and Nigeria cannot handle organ transplant. Be it as it may, supporting a liar, thief and manipulator simply because the senator is also a thief makes no sense. Your pain follows the path that his unraveling has begun to unfold.

In your attempt to sound intelligent, you did not take time to read that what you quoted had to do with restrictions on persons NOT genetically related. In other words, transplants can either be between genetically related persons or NON-genetically related persons. You also have never heard of the term “waiting list”, so you don’t know someone can have a failed organ which no one in his living linage can be a match and he/she will be confined to a wait list. It did not occur to you that in the past 5 years, the senator would have searched within their close family/friends knit without success before extending the search. There are people who after being on wait list for so long end up getting organs from even another country or continent. The senator will only be guilty if he offered money for the kidney outside medical costs and opportunity loses to the donor.

Vatsyayana:


I'm not sure you read the law well yourself because there's nowhere in the law that says someone can donate their organs if they're not genetically related

1stGenAmerican:


So I guess the charging documents are lying about where they were arrested? I would have to be really stupid to believe that. Tell me, where were they arrested and did the UK police falsify their tickets to Turkey also?

BigIyanga:

Typical Naija oppressor mentality. The issue is not about age.
Per 1989 UK Law-HOTA, Live organ donor and recipient must be genetically related. Is the boy related to the Ekweremadus?
It’s also illegal to induce, coerce, manipulate or offer monetary compensation to donors.
Ignorant and arrogant leaders worshiped by ignorant followers like you.

drnoel:


Information is still ongoing. It's not right to lay claims when things are still premature. Just sit back on the side like most of us are doing and watch the outcome. Nothing more I can say on the issue

kingsways:


Shut up there!!

How did he ruin his reputation


He should not try to save his sick daughter

Vatsyayana:


I'm not sure you read the law well yourself because there's nowhere in the law that says someone can donate their organs if they're not genetically related

1stGenAmerican:


They were arrested at the airport while awaiting a flight to Turkey. That information was released right along with the report that they had been charged with a crime and arrested. That fact isn’t going to change.

Agadinaagwuofe:

ERockson:
But why the too much noise about the boy age. The alleged offence is very bad regardless of the boy's age. The boy claimed he was promised a job not knowing he was about to be harvested

obailala:
Becoming a senator is an achievement. If it isnt, go and contest for a house of assembly seat in your state let's see how far you can go.

1stGenAmerican:


Can you show me where they are being charged because he is allegedly a minor? The charges lodged against them have nothing to do with his age. Why is his PII being splashed in the media? What proof do you have that it’s even his information?

Lightorder:
promised him job in exchange for what ? Do you think he was being taken to ritualist ? You think the Ekweremadus were stupid that they don’t know that before the medical procedure, the would be interviewed to ascertain if he approved of it

obailala:

There's not a chance in the world that they would pay for such a trip to the UK without first testing the compatibility of the boy's kidney first in Nigeria.


Any hospital can mess things up, Nigeria or overseas. This wouldnt be the first time we would hear of a test being positive the first time and showing negative on second check. Even after all prior tests may have confirmed compatibility, the recipient's body may still reject an organ. These things arent 100% efficient.

“After conducting various medical tests, the Royal Free Hospital in London decided that the said David Nwamini Ukpo was not a suitable donor because his kidney is not compatible with that of Sonia Ekweremadu"

farouk2much:
She not he

1stGenAmerican:


Check again. The affidavit is from Ekweremadu‘s brother, not the boy’s.
