A Westminster Magistrates Court in the United Kingdom, on Wednesday, ruled that David Nwamini Ukpo, the alleged kidney donor for the daughter of Senator Ike Ekweremadu, is not 15 years old.
Arise TV reports that Ukpo has admitted to the court that he is 21 years old and had been in the UK since February but only presented himself to the police in May.
The counsel for the defendants has also denied the allegations of exploitation laid by the alleged victim.
However, Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice Ekweremadu were denied bail by the Westminster Court in the United Kingdom.
The senator and his wife are going on trial for allegedly forcing a minor, David Ukpo, to travel to the UK so that his organs could be removed in order to save the senator’s daughter, Sonia.
Ekweremadu was represented by Gavin Irwin, and his wife was represented by Szilvia Booker.
In court for the trial of the former Deputy Senate President was a powerful Nigerian delegation.
The case was adjourned till August 4, 2022.
