‘Kidney conditions run in my family,’ Ekweremadu’s daughter speaks after parents’ conviction for organ harvesting

Sonia, daughter of former deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, has explained why her parents sought a kidney donor from outside the family.

The Central Criminal Court in the United Kingdom on Friday sentenced Ekweremadu to nine years and eight months in prison for organ harvesting.

He was convicted by the court for spearheading the move that brought a Lagos market trader to the UK to harvest his kidney for his ailing daughter.
