United Kingdom Court Finds Senator Ike Ekweramadu, Wife Beatrice, And Dr. Obinna Obeta Guilty Of Organ Trafficking

Senator Ike Ekweremadu, 60, his wife Beatrice, 56, and Dr Obinna Obeta, 50, were convicted of conspiring to exploit the man from Lagos for his kidney.

Prosecutors told the Old Bailey the organ was to be removed and given to the couple’s daughter, Sonia, aged 25. She was cleared of the same charge.

The victim, a street trader from Lagos, was brought to the UK last year to provide a kidney in an £80,000 private transplant at the Royal Free Hospital in London.

Sentencing will follow.
