Just In: UK court finds Ekweremadu, wife guilty of organ trafficking

An Old Bailey Court in the United Kingdom has found former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and wife Beatrice guilty of organ trafficking.

The duo alongside their daughter, Sonia, and a medical doctor, Dr. Obinna Obeta, were found guilty of facilitating the travel of a young man to Britain with a view to his exploitation after a six-week trial.

They criminally conspired to bring the 21-year-old Lagos street trader to London to exploit him for his kidney, the jury found on Thursday.

According to the Guardian UK, Justice Jeremy Johnson will pass a sentence at a later date.
