Ekweremadu: Temper justice with mercy – Reps beg UK Govt

The House of Representatives has appealed for leniency from the UK government over the sentencing of former deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu for organ harvesting.

This followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance by Rep. Toby Okechukwu (PDP-Enugu) at plenary in Abuja on Tuesday titled ” Need for Clemency for Sen Ike Ekweremadu”.

Presenting the motion, Okechukwu said Ekweremadu acted based on his limited knowledge of the UK laws, stressing that he must have learnt the bitter lessons.
