Former Senate Deputy President, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, have yet again been denied bail by a Westminster Court in the United Kingdom on Thursday.
The Senator and his wife are facing trial for allegedly coercing a minor that has been identified as David Ukpo to the UK to have his organ harvested to save the life of the Senator’s daughter, Sonia.
Gavin Irwin represented Ekweremadu, while Szilvia Booker represented his wife. A high-powered Nigerian delegation was in court for the trial of the former Deputy Senate President.
The court ruled that Ukpo, a purported KIDNEY donor for the daughter of Ike and Beatrice Ekweremadu, is not a minor.
However, the court denied the couple bail and adjourned the case to August 4th, 2022
Meanwhile former Senate President, David Mark and Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, the former Minister of State for Education arrived at the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London, the United Kingdom to observe the trial of Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice.
The Enugu West senator was arrested alongside his wife last month by the London Metropolitan Police for allegedly conspiring to bring a child to the UK for organ harvesting.
