The Westminster Magistrates Court, the United Kingdom on Thursday accepted that the kidney donor in the case of former Deputy Senate
President, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice is not a minor.
Ekweremadu and his wife were arrested by the British police on June 23
on allegations of human trafficking and organ harvesting that violate the
country’s Modern Slavery Act.
The police authorities had accused the lawmaker of conspiring to bring a
child to the United Kingdom for organ harvesting, saying the victim was
a 15-year-old boy.
During the continuation of the case, the prosecution accepted that he is
21 years old, contrary to earlier claims that he is 15 years old.
The court thereafter fixed August 4 as the date for the next hearing.
