Presidential candidate of Labour Party and former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians to support the former Deputy Senate President and Senator representing Enugu West senatorial zone, Ike Ekweremadu, and his wife, Nwanneka, in their trial period.
Peter Obi in his Twitter handle called all people of goodwill to support the Ekweremadus and support justice.
He wrote “My family and I are with the Ekweremadus over their travail. We join all men of goodwill in praying for the healing of their daughter and commit them into God’s hand for justice to be done” he ended.
Ekweremadu, and his wife, Beatrice Nwanneka, were arrested by Metropolitan Police in London over an alleged organ harvesting.
They were remanded in custody and will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on July 7 to be charged with conspiracy to traffic a child to the United Kingdom in order to harvest organs.
Ekweremadu had in a letter to the British High Commission dated December 28,2021, informed the commission of his support to the visa application of Ukpo Nwamini David who was undergoing investigation for a kidney donation to his daughter, Ms Sonia Ekweremmadu.
