 Nigeria's former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife have been remanded and denied bail for human organ trafficking in the UK.





Ike Ekweremadu, a former deputy senate president, and his wife Beatrice were yesterday held in the custody of the UK Police following their arraignment before the Uxbridge Magistrates' Court for an alleged plot to aid another person's travel for organ harvesting.


Following an investigation by the police's specialized crime unit, the pair was charged and taken to court, according to a statement from the UK Metropolitan Police confirming their detention.

The Metropolitan Police states that an inquiry into the accusation was started in May 2022 after investigators received information about possible violations of the modern slavery statute.


The police department said in a statement: "A youngster has been secured, and we are coordinating closely with partners to provide ongoing support. We won't be giving any further information because criminal investigations are now underway.
