Organ-Harvesting: Nigerian Politician And Wife Facing Fail

A wealthy Nigerian politician and his wife are facing jail for an organ-harvesting plot involving a UK hospital following a landmark trial.

Senator Ike Ekweremadu, 60, his wife Beatrice, 56, and medical “middleman” Dr Obinna Obeta, 51, were found guilty at the Old Bailey of conspiring to arrange the travel of a young man with a view to exploiting him for his body part.

The Ekweremadus’ 25-year-old daughter, Sonia, who has a serious kidney condition, wept in court as she was cleared by the jury, which deliberated for nearly 14 hours.

It is the first time defendants have been convicted under the Modern Slavery Act of an organ-harvesting conspiracy which carried a maximum life sentence.

Following the guilty verdicts, Mr Justice Johnson remanded the defendants into custody to be sentenced on May 5.

God bless that doctor for helping poor Nigerians apprehend one of these chronic criminals who put millions of poor Africans in horrible condition. I hope many will be captured in nearest future.

This is great news! Why don't their children go to school in Nigeria? Why don't they live in Nigeria? Why have they not built a decent hospital in Nigeria throughout his political reign in the country. There are laws in the UK and contrary to the situation in Nigeria, they cannot manipulate the law in the UK. They should rot in jail!

Ike ekweremadu was in the Nigerian senate for 20 years. He had the power to make laws build world class hospitals in Nigeria. Instead all he did was fill up his pockets. Pls give him life imprisonment

[CodingExpress]

They wouldn't build us a good hospital, wouldn't pay doctors well.

[bandcampl]
