The point here is that the boy was mot trafficked as we were made to believe. He was offered money for his organ, he accepted the offer, willingly jumped on plane to the UK

It was only after he was tested, found unsuitable, and knew he would have to return to Nigeria empty handed that he started crying wolf

The boy is just as bad as Ekweremadu
Let me ask you this question, can you sell your own kidney for $7000 dollars and a free travel to UK? Cus no amount of money will make me do that. The boy was a street trader whom $7000 and a travel to UK wld meant a lot to him. Verdict is Ekweremadu took advantage and exploited his poverty condition
. Secondly Ekweremadu took advantage of his lack of knowledge and exposure. He wanted the medical risk to go to a nobody instead of his family. And this is exactly what the government is doing to it's citizens, impoverish them with poverty to an extent they can't reason for themselves again while they amass all the wealth to themselves and during elections they throw crumbs to them to gain their love. And I wonder why we so much celebrate and defend those that has made this country a mess

If the boy was told he was not a suitable donor and the process would not go on, it means he ran to the Police to avoid coming back to Nigeria

He knew very well that he was being taken to the UK to offer up his organ for Ekweremadu's daughter, he willingly got on the flight to the UK

But when he was tested and found not suitable, meaning he would have to return to Nigeria empty handed, he ran to the police and claimed to be a victim of trafficking

Ekweremadu was wrong to have taken this boy to the UK but I can understand that he was desperate to save his daughter


The boy jumped at the offer of £7000 and a trip to the UK, more than he could have dreamt of as a petty street trader

But as soon the boy was told the deal was off due to not being a match for Ekweremadu's daughter, he devised a way not to return to Nigeria by claiming to be a victim of trafficking
Typical Naija lover of their oppressors. Still blaming the guy when Ekweremadu, admitted under oath that he didnt tell the guy that his kidney was to be harvested. Ekweremadus didnt also ask their relatives to donate in order not to put them at risk.

Tankio. That’s why the prosecutor is hitting him hard.. he neither lacks intelligence nor resources to explore donation from relatives. He has PhD in Law and too many investments and properties in Naija and beyond. His wife is a medical doctor, so they knew what they had set out to accomplish with an illiterate street trader.

Keep twisting your false narrative. Ekweremadus knew that it was illegal to pay for kidney…the boy didnt know about it. The courts and hospitals have established that the boy was not aware that his kidney would be harvested.
Naija irrational sentiments dont work in courts.

BRATISLAVA:
Didn't they claim all his family members have the same kidney problem? Or was it the same non-nephrologist doctor who he so strongly believes that told him so? Or perhaps he has limited intelligence on the matter?

Perhaps the courts should find out if it is true by subjecting them all to tests.
Ike is digging his prison grave by saying that he lacks intelligence. His wife is a doctor who knows that a nephrologist should be making that medical judgement not his errand boy Dr Obeta… He’s well resourced financially and intellectually to get an informed medical opinion… but he chose illegality due to financial benefits to him

Prosecutor Hugh Davies KC accused Ekweremadu, of not approaching family members because he wanted the “medical risk” to go to someone he didn’t know.

grin cheesy grin
that's cross-examination at its best

I believe the case will be dismissed eventually. The burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove all they've alleged with a strong evidence to tie in the Ekweremadus to the alleged offence. The evidence so far has been merely soeculative and cannot be taken as fact .
They have enough evidence for them to have kept them since last year

U dey mind him.. they use Naija dysfunctional lens to view everything. There is a higher threshold for prosecutors to convince a judge that criminal case has happened in order to issue a warrant of arrest. Naija folks talking, have been never to a court to hear a civil case let a lone a criminal case.

Let us assume that everything you wrote is true and the UK prosecutors manage to prove that, Ekremadu would still go to jail because it is against their laws.

Yes, they already know he is trying to remain in UK for as long as possible, but according to their laws, Ekremadu committed a real and bigger crime.

Seems ekweremadu paid you to come to the public cooking up weak lies to paint him good.

How could the boy run to the police because he wasn't a matching donor, when he was obviously relieved after the oyibo doctor made him understand that the transplant won't happen again?

He didn't know why he was there. It was the white doctor that hinted him his mission there and also the health implications.

Ekweramdu should remain in jail.

Didnt you read the reported court reports? A petty street trader is is whisked away to Britain and you think he didnt know what he was going for?

He was tested and it was not a match to be a donor, making him useless to Ekweremadu

This in no way exonerate Ike Ekweremadu, however, the so called report that Ekweremadu was trafficking in human parts is not true

Both Ike Ekweremadu and the boy were opportunists

His wife is a medical doctor? And he claims both he and his wife were so uninvolved and lacking in intelligence that they both trusted Mr Obeti?

The man is much worse than he appears to be!

The doctor was a middleman organ trader. . He had all the forged documents necessary according to the previous article. And the good senator, lawmaker that he is, and his doctor wife knew exactly what they were doing. Inducing someone to forgo their health in return for a kidney for his daughter, maybe two at a later date. A kidney that his family generously refused to give them.

That was a remarkably cheap kidney.

Abeg go siddon somewhere. Once blacks break the law, they start throwing the racist card.
The question remain was he involved in organ trafficking or not? Nobody cares about your skin colour, it's their country and their law.
If black Africans feel it's too harsh, sit your butt in your continent and develop it
I don't need to "go siddon somewhere." Now read what I wrote again this time with comprehension. Except you have lived in the UK for 18 years this year, I am not about to exchange words on a faceless forum with a person who cannot read and understand simple English.

I don't have time to argue with your type as I already know why u side the so called victim.
You can name my type - the bitter poor Nigerians who wishes ill fortune befall the rich Nigerians.

Both are guilty .... Even if EK and family are the ones actually on trial....
We can leave the court to decide who's guilty or not. However, the accusations of backbiting or deceit you levied on the boy is not in the same stratosphere in seriousness as something as organ harvesting.

Like you highlighted, we should focus on who's on trial here...

Even Rich dad, poor dad Robert Kiyosaki has long helped us see how the poor reason when still in that state....
If the poor don't like the rich, is it the Nigerian elites that have abundance love for the poor? I'm sure Kiyosaki wouldn't dare draw his poor-rich dynamics if he were to live under Nigerian politicians.

Backstabbing has never helped anyone as the deal with the 21 yr old didn't sail through so at least he was free to go back and should be happy that no rich man would be saving his daughter's life with his( poor boy's) kidney.... But instead of bobo to sope, he chose to go cry to the Police instead of looking for the nearest airport to get home.
I'm sure it has been written several times that the doctors called off the surgery when it became clear the boy didn't know why he was in the hospital. Truly elite societies report foul play. They don't protect criminals. Something EK and his likes refused to promote in their country because they may need poor people's kidney from time to time.


Even if you don't like EK, but at least don't tell me u can't even see that this street boy is lying.... How I wish he was also on trial and a good LIE DETECTOR was placed to verify his claims.
You see, this line of argument is what we all shouldn't give voice to. What we should never entertain. Because we start making excuses, start focusing on the wrong person, start focusing on the wrong case. And we start balancing two different foul play against each other. And piting the Rich against the Poor in a power struggle. That's how the 'BIG MEN' gets off the hook, and the case gets buried forever in Nigeria.

@bolded. I don't know EK personally. So the question of love-hate is a non starter - can't hate or like who I don't have direct dealings. Besides, my hate-love shouldn't and wouldn't change the facts of the case.


It is well Sha.... And u see no wrong supporting a backstabbing youth who could grow older and do worse things ....
You cannot be 100% certain that the boy is snitching against EK. Neither I'm 100% certain that EK is guilty as charge. Why? We both are not privy to their agreements.

I'm happy to allow the courts decide. I wonder if the boy will be questioned by EK's defence council, the picture will become clearer as the case progress.

That's why it's not advisable to comment officially on a case that's already in court - new Revelations can appear and fool the best of us.

This 21 yr old is as evil as Ek and I pray karma doesn't catch up with him later in life with same health problem maybe with an ONLY daughter.
Hehe grin. Read immediate paragraph above again.

Besides, I thought your (rich) type don't wish Karmas on people?

Yes, Beatrice Ekweremadu is a medical doctor. Ike is a also PhD holder in law and a visiting professor to UK’s Lincoln University… so lack of intelligence claim is going to be met with mockery. Lol. Oyibo will laughing at you mentally and still be going at you physically lol

His wife is a medical doctor? And they say the profession is of the highest standards. A medical doctor who didn't know what her daughters condition was, who didn't know why they were pretending the victim was her/her husband's nephew, who didn't know the legality of what she and her husband intended to undertake. Yet he's come up with his claims. The huckster in question was in the hands of powerful and well educated people who could've wanted revenge on him for not doing as they bid.

Don't be surprised the daughter will come out and deify her parents, or that they will see themselves as the victims in their predicament.

It will be fun to read more from their sittings. Will he pull a Bundy on the court? Will he weep? What will he, his wife and his robust-looking daughter do next? Stay tuned for more from the court.
