Ekweremadu: Immigration Investigating Organ Donor’s Passport

The Nigeria Immigration Service said it is currently investigating the authenticity of the passport obtained by Nwamini David, who was alleged to have been trafficked to the United Kingdom for organ harvest by a former Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice.

The passport with number B00569974 was issued in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on November 5, 2021 and would expire on November 4, 2026.

The acting Comptroller-General of Immigration, Mr Idris Jere, revealed that the agency is investigating the controversy surrounding David’s passport.

He said, “We are investigating the passport and the issues surrounding it. We will come out with our findings soon,” Jere stated.

Recall that Senator Ike Ekweremadu, representing Enugu West Senatorial District, was arrested by the UK Metropolitan Police on Tuesday with his wife, for conspiracy to harvest the organs of a minor.

Ekweremadu and his wife allegedly facilitated David’s entry into the UK to transplant his kidney into their daughter, Sonia, who is suffering from kidney failure.

The couple was arraigned at the Uxbridge Magistrate Court in London on charges of conspiracy and organ harvest on Thursday. The prosecutor disclosed that David is a 15-year-old boy, adding that he was not aware that he was in the UK to donate a kidney until he went for a hospital appointment with the Ekweremadus.
