UK REJECTS FG’S REQUEST TO TRANSFER EKWEREMADU TO NIGERIA . (PHOTO).


 The UK government has rejected a request by the Nigerian government to deport former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, who was convicted of organ trafficking, TheGuardian UK reports on Monday. 


Recall that a high-level delegation sent by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with officials at the UK Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on November 10, 2025 to discuss Ekweremadu’s case. 


Ekweremadu, 63, is serving a sentence of nine years and eight months after being found guilty in 2023 of conspiring to exploit a man for his kidney.


Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice, and a co-conspirator, Dr Obinna Obeta, trafficked a young man to London with a view to harvesting his kidney, which they planned to transplant to Ekweremadu’s daughter Sonia in a private unit of an NHS hospital.


It was the first conviction for organ trafficking under the Modern Slavery Act.


According to The Guardian, the Nigerian government delegation, led by the foreign minister, Yusuf Tuggar,  requested his deportation so he could serve his remaining sentence in Nigeria.


A source at the MoJ has confirmed to the publication the request was rejected. 


It is understood the UK government was concerned that Nigeria could offer no guarantees that Ekweremadu would continue his prison sentence after being deported.
