EKO HOT BLOG reports that presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has expressed solidarity with a former deputy president of the Nigerian Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, over his arrest in the UK.
The London Metropolitan Police charged Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, with conspiracy to traffic a child to the UK in order to harvest his organs, the law enforcement said on Thursday.
The lawmaker and his wife were denied bail after the London Metropolitan Police arraigned them at the Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court in London.
Reacting, Obi, Friday, prayed for justice for the lawmaker as well as the healing of his ailing daughter.
“My family and I are with the Ekweremadus over their travail. We join all men of good will in praying for the healing of their daughter and commit them into God’s hand for justice to be done,” he said via his Twitter handle.
Ekweremadu and his wife were being charged for bringing a 15-year-old boy from Nigeria to the UK with the claim that he was to be given a better life in the UK but was actually to harvest his organ.
The prosecutors reportedly informed the court that Ekweremadu procured a passport for the boy and claimed he was 21 years old, whereas he is 15.
