Embattled former Deputy President of the Senate Ike Ekweremadu on Thursday appeared before the Uxbridge Magistrate court in the United Kingdom over organ harvesting charges.
The prosecutor claimed that David Ukpo, who alleged that he was coerced to donate his kidney to the Senator’s daughter, is 15 years.
The case has been adjourned to July 7 at Westminster Magistrate Court to enable the UK Attorney General, Suella Braverman, to determine whether the case will be tried in the country or Nigeria.
On Wednesday, the Senate said it was sending a delegation to visit Ekweremadu and his wife.
Senate President Ahmad Lawan said this after a closed-door session of the lawmakers in Abuja adding that members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs will be travelling to the UK on the matter even as he added that the Nigerian High Commission has engaged the services of lawyers in the UK to defend Senator Ekweremadu.
