Senator Ike Ekweremadu, 60, was sentenced to prison for organ trafficking, and the would-be kidney donor involved in that case, David Nwamini, stated he wanted to stay and work in the UK since “they could arrest me or kill me in Nigeria.”
When Ekweremadu, his wife Beatrice, 56, and the doctor-middleman, Obinna Obeta, 51, were sentenced to prison terms of 10 years and 8 months, 4 years and 6 months, and 10 years, respectively, his impact statement was read in court.
At the Old Bailey, the three were found guilty of arranging to set up a young man’s travel in order to use him for a body part.
