Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s candidate for president, has broken his silence about the problems of Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, who are both in trouble.
After appearing before a UK court on charges of bringing a child to the UK for organ harvesting, the Ekweremadus was remanded on Thursday.
According to the police, the investigation was started after detectives were made aware of possible violations of the modern slavery legislation in May 2022.
“[A] Beatrice Nwanneka Ekweremadu, 55 (10.9.66), of Nigeria, is accused of conspiring to set up or facilitate another person’s travel with the intention of exploitation, specifically organ harvesting.
According to a statement from the police, “[B] Ike Ekweremadu, 60 (12.05.62) of Nigeria is charged with conspiracy to arrange/facilitate the travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting.
In response, Obi tweeted on Friday, “My family and I are with the Ekweremadu’s over their tribulation. We commit them into God’s hands for justice to be served, praying with all men of good will for the recovery of their daughter.
Ekweremadu recently made headlines for declaring that the South-East region would not support Obi in the elections of 2023.
