Tinubu Sends High-Powered Delegation to UK Over Ike Ekweremadu’s Organ Harvesting Case

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly dispatched a high-level delegation to the United Kingdom to engage with British authorities concerning the case of former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who is currently serving a prison sentence in the UK over organ trafficking charges.

According to a report shared by APC chieftain Ayekooto Akindele, the delegation includes Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, and the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Lateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi (SAN). Akindele posted a video on Facebook showing the delegation’s arrival in London.

Upon arrival, the Nigerian officials were received at the Nigerian High Commission in London by Ambassador Mohammed Maidugu, the Acting High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.

Though details of their mission remain sketchy, sources suggest the visit is aimed at holding discussions with officials of the UK Ministry of Justice regarding Ekweremadu’s continued detention and the possibility of diplomatic intervention or prisoner transfer arrangements.

Ekweremadu, who once served as Nigeria’s Deputy Senate President, has been detained in the UK since March 2023 after being arrested by the London Metropolitan Police alongside his wife, Beatrice, for allegedly plotting to harvest the kidney of a young Nigerian man, David Nwanini.

The couple, along with a medical doctor identified as Dr. Obinna Obeta, were accused of conspiring to bring Nwanini to London to exploit him for a kidney transplant intended for their ailing daughter, Sonia Ekweremadu.

In May 2023, the Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court found the trio guilty of organ trafficking. Ekweremadu was sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison, his wife Beatrice received four years and six months, and Dr. Obeta was given ten years.

While Beatrice Ekweremadu regained her freedom and returned to Nigeria in January 2025, her husband remains in custody in the UK, with growing calls from political and social groups in Nigeria urging the government to secure his release through diplomatic channels.
