Organ trafficking: UK court sentences Ike Ekweremadu to 10 years in prison, his wife bags four years and six months

The Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, UK, has sentenced former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, to nine years and eight months in prison for organ trafficking. The court also sentenced his wife, Beatrice, to four years and six months jail term.

Recall that on March 23, the court found Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice, and their doctor, Obinna Obeta, guilty of trafficking a trader from Nigeria to the UK to harvest his organ, a crime under the United Kingdom Modern Slavery act 2015. The jury held that they conspired to bring the 21-year-old to London to exploit him for his kidney.

The verdict is the first of its kind under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 of the UK.

MEANING OF ASUU STRIKE

TO ALL OUR FOREIGN FRIENDS WHO ARE CURIOUS TO KNOW THE MEANING OF ASUU STRIKE: ASUU Strike is an annual festival done in
Nigerian Universities whereby students are not allowed to go to school during the festival. The date of the event is always fixed
by the lecturers of Nigerian state
and federal universities.


The event is remarkable in that everyone is a spectator.


Highlight of the festival is the wrestling match between federal executive council and the leaders of the lecturers.

There is no referee to officiate the wrestling match, as such the
wrestling comes to an end when both contestants are tired.


The duration of the festival is indefinite depending on the strength of the wrestlers.


If you are wondering were to
spend your vacation then Nigeria should be your destination because the festival is at its peak.


Happy ASUU STRIKE to Nigerian students!!!


From Me, I challenge every Nigerian student to sit down this period and find the facts about the recurrent dilemma and battle between ASUU and FG and take a positive stand never to let this continue in a few years to come. Else the same hands that criticise whatever side of the two wrestlers today will sure be in that position a few years from now and will do the same things or even worse.


ASUU and FG fight is only a reflection of the greed and insensitivity, I see in many Nigerian establishments even in the offices of the same ASUU members who accuse the FG of the same.


May God help you and I to raise Hope for the Future of our dear country, Nigeria. IT BEGINS WITH YOU AND I.
