Hmm... thanks for this detailed information. Truly this was avoidable, but all the same, it was meant to happen. I ony hope the living have learnt some lessons.

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

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 did not 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 and that is the number one requirement by law.

According to the law, you must explain to the organ donor the procedure and 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 did not 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 and the science governing the procedure. While the kidney matched the scientific requirement, the facts did not 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 and could not have determined that a crime was committed. The doctors did not have sufficient information to reach such conclusion then.

They felt uncomfortable with the discrepancies in the information they had about the donor and his decisions and whether he had made up his mind.

For instance, the doctors did not 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 and 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 did not give him job and they did not send him to school. Instead of all he was promised, he was asked to prepare to return to Nigeria and 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 and he said yes he was paid N270,000. When the police checked the WhatsApp chats between Ekweremadu and Dr. Obeta they realized that Ekweremadu actually paid 4.5 million for Obeta to pay to David. But Obeta only paid David N270,000 and 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 did not deal directly with David. That was what made it possible for Obeta to cheat him. Ekweremadu believed that the 4.5 million went to David. But since he was not dealing with David directly, he never knew that Obeta pocketed most of the money.

However, the law viewed Ekweremadu’s decision not to deal directly with David as a typical behavior of a big man who knew that he is getting involved in a crime. He would usually try to create some distance between him and 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 and 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 and 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 and took advantage of him. No, David is a real victim. He did not manipulate them. He was manipulated by Dr. Obinna Obeta, who was working for the Ekweremadu.

*Copied*.

And you think even the UK is safe enough to hide in after your MONUMENTAL act of wickedness and betrayal against such a personality? Such unprecedented cruelty and coldness of heart?

I don't know Ekweremadu's ways and means, or if he has a sufficiently vengeful grown son with ways and means. Because... HMMM.

Grrrh.

The goon/criminal David doesn't know that if he survives this period, his life will be led under cover forever, all because he wants to escape from Nigeria and live in Europe. If he swears on his mama's grave that he did not agree in Nigeria to be brought to the UK to donate his kidney, his mother's grave will collapse and consume him as well.
Ekweremadu was foolish to have engaged on written negotiations with his doctor Obetta. If not, he would deny David. Ekweremadu was also foolish for not learning from Saraki who he conspired with to rob President Buhari the opportunity to select Senate leadership in 2015. Saraki was framed with armed robbery. Ridiculous. It was local and Saraki had local connections to disentangle himself from the armed robbery accusation. Fulani never forgives. Ekweremadu's ordeal abroad was compounded by efforts of his enemies in Nigeria.

Wicked , evil people!I hope and pray Sonia eventually get the needed help but to those her criminal parents must go to jail!this is what to they do all the time in naija, EXPLOITING , unsuspecting people!may you all die in prison!

And you think even the UK is safe enough to hide in after your MONUMENTAL act of wickedness and betrayal against such a personality? Such unprecedented cruelty and coldness of heart?

Grrrh.

The wicked one here is the one who intended to exploit the naivety of the other, to deprive him of his precious organ. You can't tell me that Ekweremadu has no blood relative anywhere who can willingly donate his kidney for Sonia.

ceejayluv:
I doubt that he wasn't told. I suspect that after the tests found him incompatible, he absconded rather than returning back to Nigeria. When caught by the authorities, he used that story to prevent his deportation.

The bolded is not true.. if you have been following the story, the boy went to police by himself after spending days outside. When they learn his kidney is a mismatch, Ekweremadu abandoned him and decided to track another donor in turkey. He felt he is nobody and doesn't realize the gravity of his offence. The boy went to the police as a survival instinct and narrate his story to police. If Ekweremadu had any safety consciousness devoid of normal Nigeria elite his first point of duty would have been to settle the boy or find a way to secretly trick him back outside UK but like Nigeria elite he was grandstanding until the boy made his way to police.

Over residency permit you finish a whole family


6 kidneys would rot in jail while one might die


A Father watching his daughter breathless gasping and clutching her neck because of fluid, sweat and urine buildup In the organs like lungs and body she can't walk due to huge feets

Exactly what Ekweremugu wanted to do to the boy, but it backfired.

And you think even the UK is safe enough to hide in after your MONUMENTAL act of wickedness and betrayal against such a personality? Such unprecedented cruelty and coldness of heart?

Do you read at all or you just went straight to comment? This evil senator lured the boy to ik to harvest his organ and you're spewing trash sorry this is not nigeria were Corruption is celebrated.

Bro, you're on a long thing. I really pity Ekweramadu and his family, especially his sick daughter. I pray God to heal her. I'm willing to Donate my Kidney to ensure that she is fine. Of this is the only thing I can do for humanity and wipe her tears, I will do. Let someone tell Sonia that I am ready to give out my kidney to her. I wouldn't take a dime. I wouldn't. God be with the Ekweremadus family.
Nairaland, pls allow God to touch your hearts to help me. Ulcer has reduced me to nothing. And Hunger has escalated it. Things are just so bad with work. Pls help me with anything u can pls

who will collect a hungry kidney? Why not look for their phone number and call or go to any hospital and tell them you want to donate the kidney to Sonia, I believe the hospital will contact the family.
Meanwhile, the way ulcer has damage your intestines I don't think your kidney will be good.

He lied, and Ekweremugu was wicked, for him to attempt to exploit someone young enough to be his grandchild.

This can't be far from the true story, Ekweremadu has the wealth to employ SANs to absolve him and his family of wrong doings, unfortunately for him, UK justice system doesn't work like that of Nigeria, May all looting Nigerian politicians meet the same fate. I feel for his daughter but what of others who don't have the means, can't these politicians build a world class hospital.

Ensure to stay away from this lawless contraption called Nigeria for at least 35 years. Ekweremadu's family may not kill you but the Nigerian people he has enslaved in the past 25 years will definitely kill you.

I understand your point of view. I do. Trust me. If only they had equiped our hospitals with State of the Art facilities, we wouldn't be talking all this now, but they failed us and equally failed themselves.

Pls pray for the Ulcer to go and also send me something to buy foods pls. Thanks

veektor01:
Thank you. I was wondering where all the sensible people went to.
None of them here saying thrash will donate their kidney for that amount.

Truly, most sensible people don't normally come on here to exchange words with ignoramuses.

I only commented because I got angry at a point.

The entire ekweremadus with all their friends and relations including fans and admirers couldn't donate one kidney and we're here blaming one uneducated young man who is obviously a victim of the state of this country because of the types of ekweremadu at the helm of affairs in this country.

With all the money they embezzle in this country if we can't provide a single world class healthcare center then let all those politicians go to jail for all I care.

No be the same oil wey UAE get we get?

Viltron:
Well, the organ thief deserved what happened to him.

I can picture how he must have lured and coerced that guy.

Typical Nigerian big man. They behave like they are above the law. Not UK law.

I wish he got a longer sentence

You know Nigerians do this to regular people too? Many are languishing thinking they had agreement in Nigeria. May you never be desperate health wise and get into a business transaction where someone will scam you! Remove the politician angle. It can happen to anybody. This is why he must be deported to deter future scammers. He could have simply said no, when propositioned. The doctor just doing his job has also lost everything. Including his license to practice. Did that Doctor steal your money?

Headless things are angry this young man crave his safety, they wants to kill him for a criminal organ harvester. It goes to show how these people think, little wonder the extent of decay in that end.

Na animals full this place...lots of them, no sense, just open mouth waaaa like weytin I no wan talk.....they have started cursing the boy. A lot of them have wood shavings I the brain compartment...can't think. Attacking a street boy of 21yrs because a sixty sumtin years old legislator with over 40 houses all over the world could not successfully harvest the boy"s kidney for his sick daughter. Ekweremadus mates are going to black market to purchase organs at over 50million naira from willing seller, but in his head he's so smart he can just take advantage of a poor boy and dangle 8k pounds at the boy. Boy that they would still have killed even after donating and receiving 8k pounds..they would have killed him so the story would be buried and not affect his political career in future...most Nigerians living in Nigeria deserve what the politicians are putting them through

UK is not safe. Good luck to you. You think getting to the UK and staying is the end of the world after destroying this family. You knew exactly what you were going to do there. You just had other plans. You think you are smart, you will learn the hard way that some things are not worth it.

UK should deport him. He lied on applications and scammed that couple. The people he scammed are currently in prison. Let him come back home.

I pray that,in this life one of your child must have same offer from a family in the Ekwerwmadu's situation...say Amen if your support for the Ekwerwmadu is genuine from the heart ...
