London, United Kingdom – Wetin happen to Ike Ekweremadu? You wan hear am? The former deputy president of Nigeria Senate don find himself for hot soup.
Ekweremadu, wey be 63 years old, dey serve nine years and eight months for UK prison after dem catch am and him crew conspire to exploit one young man for him kidney. Na real wah! This matter happen for 2023, and wetin dem do this guy no fine at all – them plan to use him kidney for Ekweremadu daughter, Sonia, wey dey sick. (Chai, wetin kidney go do for person wey no gree live life well?)
Na only ekweremadu and him small team dey gather to use this organ harvesting style, mixed with plenty lies. Them carry the boy go London o, say make him come contribute kidney join family, dem even lie say the boy na Sonia cousin and all that. Dem build this whole story like say na movie, but na real life we dey talk about here.
After the UK court find dem guilty, the judge call the whole matter ‘despicable trade’. He even talk say, ‘Harvesting human organs na form of slavery.’ (E be like movie wey no suppose happen for real life, but e don land for we eye!)
Even though eth Nigerian government send delegation wey include foreign minister Yusuf Tuggar, to go beg UK government make dem send Ekweremadu back home, UK no gree. Dem say Nigeria no fit promise say Ekweremadu go continue him prison sentence if e land for Naija. Make we face am, who fit manage person like Ekweremadu when e don land back for Nigeria? Him get plenty padi for there wey go join am escape prison.
Ikweremadu no dey alone for this matter o. Him wife, Beatrice, don serve her own four and a half years, but she don return to Nigeria already. Na wah! The drama no fit end for Ekweremadu eyes. Wetin concern am now be say, him co-conspirator, Dr. Obinna Obeta don also receive ten years imprisonment, and e no get finish for anywhere.
UK government emphasis say, ‘We no go tolerate modern slavery; anybody wey run am go face full force of UK law.’ (You fit imagine wey one baba go enter law book and talk, ‘I no do you anything’ after all this wahala?)
As we dey watch this whole palaver from Naija, e don raise question whether our government fit also carry more than 230 Nigerians wey dey serve time for UK like Ekweremadu. Wetin go happen if dem no fit secure future welfare for dem when dem come back to Nigeria?
Now, we go just dey watch matter as e dey develop. Maybe Ekweremadu go don finally take him time to reflect on life and all this kidney business wey no suppose bring shame to him name. (Instead of running organ business, him fit start ‘Organise Your Life’ seminar instead).
