Nigerians is at stake following the cases involving ex-Deputy Senate President,
Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice.

arraigned before a UK court on Thursday over alleged organ trafficking. The
court denied them bail and adjourned the matter to July 7.

public opinion to be patient with their judgement and keep watch of the UK
legal proceedings.
Sani on his Twitter page wrote: “Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu:
The court of public opinion should be patient and follow the UK legal
proceedings.
“No doubt that is his case, but by virtue of the position he
occupied, in a matter like this, the name and reputation of all Nigerians is
involved.”
Meanwhile, Daily Mail reported that the couple who appeared
before the Uxbridge Magistrate Court on Thursday, hoped to transplant the
victim’s organ to their daughter who suffers from renal failure.
They had that the couple were arrested on Tuesday at the
Heathrow Airport as they attempted to board a plane to Turkey where it was
suggested that the procedure could take place.

his arrest, according to prosecutors.
The couple have been remanded in custody and the case
adjourned until July 7.
