Ekweremadu, wife found guilty of organ trafficking – Court

A former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice, have been found guilty of organ trafficking in the United Kingdom as they conspired to exploit a 21 year old for his kidney.

The jury found the duo alongside their daughter, Sonia, and a medical doctor, Dr. Obinna Obeta, were found guilty of facilitating the travel of a young man to Britain with a view to his exploitation after a six-week trial at the Old Bailey.

Their daughter Sonia Ekweremadu was found not guilty.

The prosecutor Hugh Davies KC told the court the Ekweremadus and Obeta had treated the man and other potential donors as “disposable assets – spare parts for reward”. He said they entered an “emotionally cold commercial transaction” with the man.

The judge, Justice Jeremy Johnson, will pass sentence at a later date.
