Former Nigerian Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, along with his wife, Beatrice, and a medical doctor, Obinna Obeta, have been sentenced to 10 years in jail for organ trafficking by a UK court. In March, the trio were convicted of conspiring to exploit a young Nigerian man, David Nwamini, for his kidney, which was needed for Ekweremadu’s daughter, Sonia. The verdict marks the first of its kind under the Modern Slavery Act.
After a six-week trial at London’s Central Criminal Court, the Old Bailey, Ekweremadu was sentenced to 10 years and six months in jail, while his wife received a six-year sentence and Obinna Obeta received a 10-year sentence. The prosecutor, Hugh Davies, described Ekweremadu’s behavior as showing “entitlement, dishonesty, and hypocrisy.”

The conviction highlights the UK’s commitment to combatting modern slavery, including organ trafficking. Such crimes are a serious violation of human rights and must be condemned. The sentencing sends a strong message that those involved in such heinous acts will face the full force of the law.
As global efforts continue to combat modern slavery, it is vital that governments and law enforcement agencies work together to identify and prosecute those responsible for these crimes. The UK’s stance on the matter sets an example for other nations to follow, and the recent verdict is a clear indication that modern slavery will not be tolerated.
