The United Kingdom has rejected Nigeria’s plea to transfer former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu back home to complete his prison sentence.
Ekweremadu, who was convicted in 2023 for conspiring to harvest the kidney of a young man, is currently serving a nine-year, eight-month sentence in a UK correctional facility. The high-profile organ-trafficking case attracted significant international attention at the time of his trial.
With the UK’s decision, Ekweremadu will remain behind bars in Britain to serve out the remainder of his sentence.
