Nigeria seeks UK transfer of ex-senator Ike Ekweremadu, convicted in UK for organ trafficking conspiracy.
Nigeria has sent a high-level delegation to the UK to negotiate the transfer of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, who is serving a nine-year, eight-month sentence for his role in an organ trafficking conspiracy.
Convicted in 2023 under the UK’s Modern Slavery Act, Ekweremadu was found guilty of orchestrating a scheme to illegally obtain a kidney for his daughter, involving a Nigerian man lured to the UK under false pretenses.
The Nigerian government, led by President Bola Tinubu, is seeking his transfer to serve the remainder of his sentence in Nigeria, citing humanitarian and diplomatic reasons.
Discussions with UK officials are ongoing, focusing on potential prisoner exchange mechanisms.
The effort has sparked debate over political motivations and transparency in international justice cooperation.
