CCTV footage shows moment 21year old victim walks into a Surrey police station to report Ekweremadu.


Senator Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice, and their doctor, Obinna Obeta will be sentenced on May 5 after they were convicted of organ trafficking, in the first verdict of its kind under the Modern Slavery Act in the United Kingdom.


The former deputy senate president, his wife, Beatrice, 56, and Dr. Obinna Obeta, 51, were found guilty of facilitating the travel of a young man to Britain with a view to his exploitation after a six-week trial at the Old Bailey.


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