[p]Former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has been sentenced to 9 years and 8 months in prison by a UK court, alongside his wife and a medical middleman.

[/p]

[p]He was found guilty in a landmark modern slavery case for his involvement in a plot to traffic a young man to the UK to harvest his organs for their sick daughter. Along with his wife and a medical middleman, they were found guilty in March at the Old Bailey.

[p]The victim, a poor street trader in Lagos, was brought to the UK [/b]to provide a kidney for the Ekweremadus’ daughter, but he fled in fear and reported what had happened to the police.

[p]During the televised sentencing, Justice Johnson acknowledged Ike Ekweremadu’s “substantial fall from grace” as he handed down the sentence. Beatrice Ekweremadu received a sentence of four years and six months, while Obeta was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
