Ekweremadu, wife arrested for bringing child to UK for organ harvestin

Information, pointing in the direction of Nigeria’s former deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, and his wife, Beatrice Nwanneka, has emerged from the London Metropolitan Police that they have been arrested and charged to court for bringing a child to the UK for organ harvesting.

According to the police, “Beatrice Nwanneka Ekweremadu, 55 (10.9.66) of Nigeria is charged with conspiracy to arrange/facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting,” the statement reads.

“Ike Ekweremadu, 60 (12.05.62) of Nigeria is charged with conspiracy to arrange/facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting.

“They have both been remanded in custody and will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court later today.”

“A child has been safeguarded and we are working closely with partners on continued support.

“As criminal proceedings are now under way we will not be providing further details.”

Efforts to reach Ekweremadu on his line were futile as his number could not be reached. That of his spokesman, Mr. Uche Anichukwu, was busy all through; but a close associate said he has been making desperate attempts to reach Ekweremadu to no avail since the news broke.
