Nigerian Senator Ike Ekweremadu was found guilty of attempted organ trafficking by a London court on Thursday. He had tried to have a young man’s kidney removed for a transplant to his daughter.
The politician transferred a 21-year-old street vendor from Lagos to the UK by private jet. The young man himself testified in court that he was transferred to his knowledge for a job.
