Go and look at the modern slavery law in the UK under which he was convicted. So those that traffic Nigerian girls abroad for prostitution, keep them in the house for sex for money and pay then peanuts have not committed a crime because the girls are paid ? That is my point, the judge in this case looked beyond the technicality, he saw the intention of Ekweremadu in trying to avoid contact with the guy, in Nigeria they will not do that , they will base judgement on him not meeting and negotiating with the guy ivolt: |

Ikem11:Please pray you do not find yourself in some situations. I know I will do the same thing , anything for my daughter. That is why despite everything I EMPATHISE with ekeremadu. What he did wrong is the way that boy WAS TREATED, but then maybe the doctor EXPLOITED ikeremadu too. Honestly, I feel sorry for everybody except the doctor. The ikeremadu just wanted to do whatever they can to save their daughter. I can relate to that...... 1 Like |

edimaan:The other thing is that the boy may have planned to JAPA and may have premedidated this even before leaving Nigeria. This maybe why he deliberately messed up the pre- operation interview . I am sure the doctor would have told him what to say. It is possible the boy accepted the paltry money because he HAS HIS OWN PLAN. 1 Like |

This showed that all along, Ekweremadu knew they were comiting a crime, hence he distanced himself from the guy. From what he paid (4.5m) to not wanting to have anything do with the guy showed he was well aware of the exploitation of the innocent guy.. Thank God he did not go scot free If they had taken good Carr of the boy If they had offered good money If they had given him a job in the UK The guy would definitely wouldn't have reneged. How can u offer 4.5m for a whole kidney and the stupid doctor too only paid him 270k? I don't have a iota of pity for them, they can rot in jail for all I care They destroyed out health system, hence the lack of trust in it. Even at that, kidney transplant is done in quite a number of hospitals both private and govt owned in the country. The Ekweremadus were consumed by the monster they contributed in creating. NB! These were people they found 25,000 pounds cash in their possession, not to talk of those stalked up somewhere at home and in the banks.. |

Henix: O P ,well informed reports and well said! Before now,it was turning into a tribal war, with many support for Ekweremadu- your Senator of PDP,for 16yrs,who is also a lawmaker,who had been acting as - the Senate President to make Laws for the happless Nigerians ( the gaulibles Masses) and many see nothing wrong with most of our Politicians,who are so wicked- just to make Nigeria good,but rather transfer Nigeria Hard Earned Currencies- to other parts of the World, including Dubai! Are we really OK,by making Nigerian Doctors and others- a 2nd- rate Citizens when we should have made Nigeria Great- by establishing these same facilities here? That is why some of us dislike NLC- who for these decades ,have been part of these fraud- hear nothing, seen nothing and could not choose to defend Nigerian Workers,even their Pensions have been reduced to rubbish by the Multinationals,the so called ' Big Organisations'- like Banks with many Cases in the National Industrial Courts, High Courts ( State and Federal),Appeal Courts,with decades,over unnecessary delays, adjustments over adjustments! If the NLC have been up and doing- even taking on govt in areas like: - the State of Hospitals in Nigeria -on the Infrastructures ( Roads, railways-/light rails) - Economy ( Inflation, Unemployment of 33M.Youths, NBILLIONS of Pensioners Money gone--as many cannot even access them,due to death and the unremitted ones! -Would people like Emefiele and his Cashless nonsense have gotten audacity to make Nigerians become more poorer,if he knows he will be under fire! That is why former President Obama said ' Africans should have Strong Institutions,not Strong Leaders' • imagine what Trump would have done,if there are no Strong Institutions in America to checkmate him. As at now,Nigerians no longer trust her leaders, in which Ekweremadu is just one of them! |

Nigerian street trader trafficked to UK in kidney donor plot Published 23 March Share Beatrice Ekweremadu (left) and Sonia Ekweremadu outside the Old Bailey Image caption, Beatrice (left) and Sonia Ekweremadu outside the Old Bailey last month By Tom Symonds Home affairs correspondent, BBC News Nigerian senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife Beatrice have been convicted of exploiting a young man from a poor village by bringing him to London to donate a kidney. The BBC reveals details of the conspiracy. Student Sonia Ekweremadu appeared to have an ideal life - wealthy parents at the heart of Nigeria's political system and a place at a leading UK university - but she was also desperately sick and needed a kidney transplant. Her dad, Ike Ekweremadu, paid fixers and middlemen thousands of pounds to arrange a donor. Daniel, whose real name cannot be reported for legal reasons, grew up in a big family in rural Nigeria, without running water or electricity. Aged 15, he was selling mobile phone accessories from a barrow in the city of Lagos and sending money home. In 2022, aged 21, he walked into a police station near Heathrow, tired, homeless and terrified. He told police he had run away because people wanted to take one of his kidneys. Trader gives evidence at organ donation plot trial Mum accused in organ plot denies helping find donor While Daniel pushed his barrow, at the other end of the Nigerian social ladder, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife Beatrice grew increasingly worried about their daughter's health. The Ekweremadus approached a middleman, Dr Obinna Obeta, who in July 2021, had himself received a kidney donation, using his connections to make it happen: a Nigerian doctor friend in Cambridge organised fundraising, a young donor was found in Nigeria, and the private operation took place at London's Royal Free Hospital. Ike Ekweremadu IMAGE SOURCE,SOCIAL MEDIA Image caption, Ike Ekweremadu is an opposition senator 2003 The Ekweremadu family wanted Dr Obeta to repeat the process for Sonia. Dr Obeta asked his donor to find someone willing to provide a kidney for Sonia. He suggested Daniel. Daniel claimed Dr Obeta had promised to bring him to Britain and never mentioned a kidney transplant. "I will live in his house and he will get work for me. He asked me not to tell people that I'm coming to the UK," Daniel told the court. When Dr Obeta asked Daniel to undergo medical tests, Daniel thought they were for a visa application. His UK visa was granted in January 2022. Good news, Daniel thought. Dr Obeta's help was as if "from God", he said. Once in London, however, he had to sleep on Dr Obeta's sofa and says the doctor used him as a houseboy. Behind the scenes, Ike Ekweremadu, communicating through his brother, a doctor, was being asked to pay Dr Obeta nearly £2,000. Daniel was to receive £6,000 for a kidney, while the operation, at the Royal Free private wing, would cost £80,000. In the UK it is a breach of the Human Tissue Act to pay or reward transplant donors who should, in any event, be family members or people with close emotional ties to the recipient. The Ekweremadus seemed aware of this. They invited Daniel to lunch at a West African restaurant in south London, telling him to dress up. Sonia was there and her picture was taken with Daniel. Her parents and Dr Obeta were pretending they were cousins. Sonia was acquitted of being involved in the conspiracy. |

The donor, the recipient and senior kidney consultant Dr Peter Dupont all met for the first time on 22 February 2022. Daniel told the Old Bailey jury: "He asked me did I know I was going to do a kidney transplant. I was shocked. That was the first time I heard about the kidney transplant." It was also, he said, the first day he had ever heard the name Ekweremadu: "I was crying and shaking." In a letter asking a colleague for a second opinion, Dr Dupont noted Daniel had not seen his supposed cousin Sonia for a decade and had "significant reservations about donation". Meanwhile, the Ekweremadus and Dr Obeta sent Daniel prompts to improve his cover story, paying a translator to coach the 21-year-old for his meetings with doctors. The second doctor, Dr Philip Masson, was also concerned Daniel could not understand the risks of donating. Dr Dupont stopped the process, concluding Daniel was "medically borderline", had a "tenuous relationship with the recipient", lacked maturity and could not fund his future medical care. Sonia Ekweremadu on Instagram IMAGE SOURCE,INSTAGRAM Image caption, Sonia Ekweremadu desperately needed a kidney transplant Within weeks, Ike Ekweremadu was texting Sonia pictures of new potential donors. She replied: "The dark one looks better. The light one looks like he will run away." Meanwhile, Daniel was visited by two men at Dr Obeta's south London flat. He said one of them, a doctor, pressed on his stomach, leaving Daniel terrified they might try to remove a kidney once he returned to Nigeria. He ran to the police and Ike, Beatrice and Sonia were arrested, along with Dr Obeta. At the Old Bailey, three of them have now been convicted of breaking modern slavery laws by bringing Daniel to the UK to provide a kidney for Sonia. Medical link Sonia's transplant was halted - but the Royal Free had previously carried out the transplant received by Dr Obeta, who had also falsely claimed he was a relative of the donor. A key figure in both cases was Cambridge-based NHS doctor Chris Agbo, who runs a side business helping foreign patients get treatment in Britain. It was Dr Agbo who fundraised for Dr Obeta's transplant, organised meetings with the hospital and discussed payments with the Royal Free hospital's private wing. He appears to have believed he should be rewarded for his company's work by the Royal Free. On 8 December 2021, he wrote to Dr Dupont: "This is the third transplant patient that my company has brought to the Royal Free... We have never received any form of incentive from Royal Free Hospital. Hope this time my company, Vintage Health Group, will be treated differently and fairly." No money was paid. Dr Agbo is being investigated by both the police and the General Medical Council, which has imposed conditions on his medical licence. When the BBC asked him what he knew about Daniel being brought to the UK seemingly unaware of the potential transplant, he declined to answer. The Human Tissue Authority says it has referred other questionable cases, not linked to Dr Agbo, to the police in recent years. As for the young Nigerian who was flown to London to provide a kidney for Dr Obeta, the BBC found him living in a small east London flat with condensation on the windows, still suffering from pain and weakness, the consequences of giving up a vital organ. 1 Like 2 Shares |
