A wealthy Nigerian politician, along with his wife and a doctor, were recently sentenced to jail by a London court. The charges against them included trafficking a street trader from Lagos to the UK, for the illegal harvesting of his kidney, in order to transplant it into their seriously ill daughter. The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) stated that Ike Ekweremadu, the politician in question, was sentenced to nine years and eight months, while his wife, Beatrice, received a sentence of four years and six months. Nigerian doctor, Obinna Obeta, was sentenced to ten years, as he was described by prosecutors as the middleman in the trafficking operation. The three were convicted in March on charges of conspiring to arrange the travel of the street trader for organ harvesting purposes.
