Ekweremadu: Obasanjo Writes Emotional Letter To UK Court, Seeks Leniency

Ahead of the sentence of Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, following their conviction by London’s Central Criminal Court for organ trafficking, Nigeria’s former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has written an emotional letter to the court’s Clark seeking linient sentence for the Nigerian Senator and his wife.

The UK court, otherwise known as the Old Bailey, had last month convicted Ekweremadu, his wife, and a doctor for facilitating the travel of a young man from Lagos to Britain with a view to exploiting him for his kidney.
