The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has reacted to the organ harvesting allegation against Ike Ekweremadu, former deputy senate president, in the UK.
Recall that Ekweremadu was charged to court on Thursday in the United Kingdom after being accused of bringing a child to the country in order to harvest his organs.
According to the court proceedings, Ekweremadu and Beatrice appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court.
The London metropolitan police had said they were charged following an investigation by the police’s specialist crime team.
According to the police, the investigation was launched after detectives were alerted to potential offenses under modern slavery legislation in May 2022.
Ekweremadu and his wife were subsequently remanded in custody until July 7 pending further investigation.>
In a tweet on Friday, Obi expressed concern over the allegation, saying justice should be served on the case. Obi tweeted.
My family and I are with the Ekweremadu’s 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. -PO
