Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye has expressed his
support for ex-Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu amid controversy of
alleged organ harvesting.
Melaye said he stands with Ekweremadu because there was no
wrongdoing by the Senator.
Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice were arrested in London
for allegedly plotting to harvest the kidney of a Nigerian minor.
The UK metropolitan police had arrested and charged
Ekweremadu and his wife to court, but the duo pleaded not guilty to the charges
at the Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court.
“These are serious allegations and these matters are now
adjourned until 7 July back here at Uxbridge,” Magistrate Lois Sheard said.
Ms Sheard remanded both defendants in custody ahead of their
hearing next month.
Sharing Ekweremadu’s letter via his Twitter handle, Melaye
wrote: “Sen. Ike Ekweremadu notified the British authorities on his trip with
the said boy. I stand with Ike.”
