Assuming the case was done in Nigeria, I am so sure that Ike Ekweremadu and his wife will go scot-free while the boy will be punished or even killed.

I continually ask myself this question:

Can justice really prevail in Nigeria?

Once you have enough money in Nigeria, you can even kill and no one will question you.

Nigeria shall be great again.

My brethren, if it were your daughter, you will do the same thing that Ekeremadu did, and even more, if you are in the position. God will never let your daughter be in this position.

Ekeremau is a useless national thief, but that should not make all of us to lose our human sympathy, not for Ekeremadu, but the wife who is in pains of having a daughter between life and death, and especially for the innocent daughter who is probably counting the days left for her to die, except if God who can do everything comes to her rescue.

SOME LITTLE DETAILS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IN THE EKWEREMADU CASE.

David Ukpo Nwamini is the 21-year-old Lagos street hawker who was to give his kidney to Ekweremadu’s daughter IN London. When he was interviewed at the hospital in London, they asked him if he knew he was to donate his kidney to Sonia Ekweremadu.

He first told them that he had no money to donate. They explained to him that it was his kidney that he was to donate. He asked them what was kidney.

Initially, the doctors thought it was a question of language, since David’s English was not good enough. However, they eventually understood that David did not know which human organ was called kidney.

In other words, he did not know what organ he was to give Sonia. That led the doctors to conclude that the procedure was not well-explained to David and that is the number one requirement by law.

According to the law, you must explain to the organ donor the procedure and all the health risks associated with the procedure. It is only then that the donor is taken to have informedly consented.
When the doctors found that David did not understand what he was about to get involved in, they declared him a mismatch.

The term “mismatch” is a technical generic language to indicate that the proposed organ harvesting has not met all the requirements.

Many in Nigeria have misunderstood the term “mismatch” in this case to meant that David’s kidney was not suitable for Sonia.

No! There was nothing wrong with David’s Kidney.

To donate an organ, the facts must match both the law and the science governing the procedure. While the kidney matched the scientific requirement, the facts did not match the legal requirement.

So, it was declared a mismatch. To help you understand it better, the term “mismatch” means there is a discrepancy.

The doctors who interviewed David did not and could not have determined that a crime was committed. The doctors did not have sufficient information to reach such conclusion then.

They felt uncomfortable with the discrepancies in the information they had about the donor and his decisions and whether he had made up his mind.

For instance, the doctors did not get involved in how David was brought to them or whether he was paid. It was not their duty to deal with that. It was actually when Ekweremadu and Dr. Obinna attempted to return David to Nigeria that the problem started.

David expected that he would be given a job in London as he was told before he left Nigeria. They did not give him job and they did not send him to school. Instead of all he was promised, he was asked to prepare to return to Nigeria and David ran away from the house where he was kept.

As hunger wired him, he reported himself to the police. To win the immediate protection of the police, he lied about his age by telling them he was 15.

It was when he was interviewed by the police that the information came out which established that a crime was committed. For instance, it was at the police station that they asked him if he was paid money and he said yes he was paid N270,000. When the police checked the WhatsApp chats between Ekweremadu and Dr. Obeta they realized that Ekweremadu actually paid 4.5 million for Obeta to pay to David. But Obeta only paid David N270,000 and pocketed the rest.

In fact, Ekweremadu tried to keep himself away from certain details of the deal. That was why Ekweremadu never discussed money with David. In fact, he did not deal directly with David. That was what made it possible for Obeta to cheat him. Ekweremadu believed that the 4.5 million went to David. But since he was not dealing with David directly, he never knew that Obeta pocketed most of the money.

However, the law viewed Ekweremadu’s decision not to deal directly with David as a typical behavior of a big man who knew that he is getting involved in a crime. He would usually try to create some distance between him and the crime, yet he will be funding the crime from afar.

Otherwise, how come you never wanted to meet the boy that is giving his kidney to your daughter and whom you called cousin to your daughter (which actually makes him your nephew)? Rather than see the non-direct dealing as evidence of his innocence, it was seen as deliberate or willful ignorance aimed at evading legal responsibility.

One of the key factors that worked against Ekweremadu was that he lied. On three official documents he signed, he stated that David was Sonia’s cousin. But in all the WhatsApp chats he had with the doctor and his own brother over the matter, he referred to David as “that guy”. Hence the question: “You knew he was not Sonia’s cousin. While you signed that he was her cousin, when you wanted to say the truth, you referred to him as “that guy”, meaning you didn’t know him or even remember his name”. Ekweremadu admitted in court that he lied and apologized.

NOTE: I decided to provide these details because I have read somewhere it was being said that David misled Ekweremadu and took advantage of him. No, David is a real victim. He did not manipulate them. He was manipulated by Dr. Obinna Obeta, who was working for the Ekweremadu.

There's this common belief in the streets that money can get you anything; legal or illegal.

These are two parents trying to save their daughter, but opted, possibly out of desperation, to go the street way. It's easy to have the poor and vulnerable do your bidding with money.
If the guy hadn't been poor, he wouldn't have agreed to the deal.
It's an open secret the guy knew what he was traveling to do, possibly decided to cast the matter when he was no match after the medical test and he wasn't paid.

Well, let's see how it goes. Ministers in the UK are forced to resign for flouting some laws like traffic laws, now imagine being accused of human trafficking.... They no go send you.

why do I feel this case is overflogged and the sentencing non-reflective of actual crime?

Most Nigerians are only happy because Ekweremadu is a 'looting politician' and not necessarily because of the 'crime' he commited

the guy is not a minor,he know fully well he his to donate a kidney, the issue is claiming he's their family when he's not

this is what 'most' parent will have naturally do, they will offer whatever they can if free donor is not comming forth
you are right my brother, but according to some news, they said that after his kidney is not match with Sonia's own the boy wanted to stay in UK but Mr Ekweremadu want him to return to Nigeria at all cost, you know all there rich men can't do you small favor if they won't gain something from you, I think that is how casala busted. If this is true, Mr Ekweremadu is at fault, he should have leave the boy alone.

where are the useless corrupt Sin-nators and their fake letters to the Patriotic London court ?

All the useless appeals to cover up justice by the Ohaneze Ndigbo also failed!

welldone Judge JEREMY JOHNSON being an upright judge
welldone to British Government for refusing to compromise with some unpatriotic Nigerian Leaders
who takes joy to cheap the helpless and the less privileged

The sentencing of IKE EKWEREMADU AND HIS wife to various jail terms in LONDON
will go down in history to teach our politicians a good lesson that everyday is for the thief but just one day is for the owner!!

The simple answer is: Yes, justice can prevail in Nigeria.

The reason why justice has not been prevailing in Nigeria is because of the people.
In Nigeria, people worship money and that is why every body wants to kill themselves to be
in politics so that they can have and stash away huge amount of money they don't work for.

The real Issue here is that, the boy only came public when he discovered that he was not suitable and was left stranded on the streets. The guicy promises made to him was not kept in any part.

If the Ekweremadus have paid the Boy a little bit of what was promised him, they would have done it with another victim without being flagged.

A life lesson here, don't try to take it all.
Be fair in your dealings with all.

But how is Sonia sha? I can not imagine how difficult life would be for her having kidney issues and no parents to come looking for her, it’s disheartening really. I hope she gets better so she can at least be visiting her parents in prison.
Chai! How painful her mother can’t check up on her sick daughter. Omo! Na who I wan blame bayi?
I don’t want to feel sorry for ekweremadu because I know he is a corrupt Nigerian politician, but knowing he was helping is child before all of this is quite pitiful.
10 years no be beans o

I for don born like 2/3 children that time( if God tarries) I for don bag my MSc and phd too ( by God’s grace) it’s a damn long time.

this is what 'most' parent will have naturally do, they will offer whatever they can if free donor is not comming forth

They couldn't wait for a free donor, and they wanted it their way just like they always do in naija.

And what do you mean his sentence wasn't reflective of his crime, so if the child has had his organ harvested and afterwards promise of better life left unfulfilled by the ekweremadus (Which could likely be the case).
