Mr. Ekweremadu, and his wife Beatrice, were arrested in the United Kingdom over a botched plan to illegally harvest Nwamini’s kidney for the couple’s ill daughter.

The London Police made the arrest for the Ekweremadus on the grounds of what it got from its investigations. The investigation suggested that Mr. Nwanini, whom the couple flew to London for the purpose of harvesting his organ is a minor.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that the prosecutors said the couple was charged with bringing boy aged 15 years from Nigeria to the United Kingdom with the claim that he would to be sponsored to a better life was actually to take his organ.

But the Ekweremadus, whose bail has been denied and face organ trafficking charges in London insists that Mr Nwanini is 21 years old.

But upon a medical examination of Mr Nwamini’s kidneys, it was discovered that none was a match for the couple’s daughter, the documents.
