David Nwamini, the would-be kidney donor in the organ trafficking case that sent Senator Ike Ekweremadu, 60, to jail, has said he wanted to remain and work in the UK, as “they could arrest me or kill me in Nigeria”.

His impact statement was read in court, at the sentencing that saw Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice, 56, and the doctor-middleman, Obinna Obeta, 51, jailed, 10 years and 8 months, 4 years and six months, and 10 years, respectively.

The three were found guilty at the Old Bailey of conspiring to arrange the travel of a young man with a view to exploiting him for his body part.

The Ekweremadus’ 25-year-old daughter, Sonia, has a severe kidney disease. It was for her the donor was sourced and brought to the UK.

According to David, he was approached with an opportunity to work in the UK, which he had always dreamed of but never thought would happen.

“He (Dr Obina Obeta) did not tell me he brought me here for this reason. He did not tell me anything about this.

“I would have not agreed to any of this. My body is not for sale.

“I worry for my safety in Nigeria. Those people can do anything. I think they could arrest me or kill me in Nigeria.

“My plan now is to work and to get an education and to play football,” David said, adding that he does not want to claim compensation from the “bad people” as it would be “cursed and bad luck”.

He also said someone visited his father in Nigeria and asked the father to get him to drop the case.

Although it is lawful to donate a kidney, it becomes criminal if there is a reward.

The Ekweremadu were arrested on June 21 last year as they arrived at Heathrow Airport.

And you think even the UK is safe enough to hide in after your MONUMENTAL act of wickedness and betrayal against such a personality? Such unprecedented cruelty and coldness of heart?

I don't know Ekweremadu's ways and means, or if he has a sufficiently vengeful grown son with ways and means. Because... HMMM.

Grrrh.

After you have caused them pains, agony and troubles?.
Bro, you're on a long thing. I really pity Ekweramadu and his family, especially his sick daughter. I pray God to heal her. I'm willing to Donate my Kidney to ensure that she is fine. Of this is the only thing I can do for humanity and wipe her tears, I will do. Let someone tell Sonia that I am ready to give out my kidney to her. I wouldn't take a dime. I wouldn't. God be with the Ekweremadus family.
Nairaland, pls allow God to touch your hearts to help me. Ulcer has reduced me to nothing. And Hunger has escalated it. Things are just so bad with work. Pls help me with anything u can pls

Sharp guy it was all planned by himself and his loved ones back in Nigeria. He is a greedy type someone like him will eventually meet his waterloo one way or the other. Serves the Ikweremadu family right because he is a typical Nigerian politician they are used to doing things through backdoor. His restitution plan should be to build massive medical infrastructure back home in Nigeria so that his gang of thieves here in Nigeria won’t meet the same faith

Hmmm... Smartness reloaded

Over residency permit you finish a whole family


6 kidneys would rot in jail while one might die

Off course, he has a smooth ground for asylum, not only will the Ekwerenmmadu’s come for him, some tadpoles that knows nothing about the case, those who have subjected themselves to boot-licking will come for him as well.

Even if he’s not sure of what to do next, his pro-bono will explore every means to keep him in UK

Deport that nigga

He’s an accomplice to the crime committed

He knew what he was getting into

Hello APCists, does this mean that Ekweremadu is 60 years old or that he was sentenced alongside 60 other people?

You actually deserve to die

An 1diot of monumental proportions, you lied you didnt know why they took you to the UK and you lied you are a minor

Headless things are angry this young man crave his safety, they wants to kill him for a criminal organ harvester. It goes to show how these people think, little wonder the extent of decay in that end.

Sad story, hopefully, everything goes well for his family back home.

I agree

Is not a matter of might kill u, they will kill you ni it’s very certain, just stay for uk there don’t even think of coming back not in the next 10 to 15yrs

Tor! I see a lot of people here aiming stones at the boy. Truth remains dat nobody here really knows what actually transpired. I believe there are a lot of facts hidden. My take is dat the boy should do everything within his power to remain in the UK. If we all here we're to be in his shoes, we will do the same thing the guy is doing

Average people from that side are dubious

KingsCity:

For doing what everyone in ekweremadu family did which is refusing to donate their kidney?

The boy planned this to get asylum in UK

This guy studied and Mastered Japa-logy 101 before leaving Naija.
