Mr And Mrs Ekweremadu

Senator Ike Ekweremadu’s trial at the Old Bailey court in Central England, United Kingdom, resumed on Monday.

Ekweremadu is on trial for allegedly plotting to harvest the kidney of a 22-year-old street trader. Along with the Nigerian lawmaker, his wife, Beatrice, his 25-year-old daughter Sonia, and a doctor, Obinna Obeta, are on trial.

They are accused of plotting to exploit the man for his organ.

In Britain, it is legal to donate a kidney, but not for reward. Prosecutors say regardless of whether the Lagos street trader gave his consent, a crime was committed by the wealthy Nigerians.

The victim, speaking through an interpreter, stated that he arrived in the UK on February 20, 2022, to donate his kidney to Sonia Ekweremadu.

“For the first time ever, we have been hearing from a key witness which is a 22-year-old alleged victim who has been giving his own testimony via a video link. He has been speaking through an interpreter,” Olayinka said.

“Today marks the actual day, this time last year, that he arrived in London. We know what happened after that arrival if you have been following this case extensively.

“He, of course, was to come to the United Kingdom to provide his kidney for Sonia Ekweremadu who suffers from a severe significant kidney disease.”

On June 23, last year, British police arrested Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, on suspicion of human trafficking and organ harvesting, both of which violate the country’s Modern Slavery Act.

Under UK modern slavery legislation, the Ekweremadus and the doctor are accused of conspiring to arrange the travel of another person for the purpose of exploitation.

According to prosecutors, the defendants planned to have the man’s kidney removed so that it could be given to Sonia.
