Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, the youth arm of the leading Igbo socio-cultural group, has once more entered the simmering debate over the imprisonment of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and his wife Beatrice.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the pair is being arrested in the UK on suspicion of allegedly harvesting organs.
OYC has already advised prudence and a halt to the Senator’s social media trail.

In an open letter to the UK Embassy, the group is now pleading for the release of the Senator’s wife at the very least so that she may care for their ill daughter.
The Ohanaeze youths claimed in the appeal made accessible to Newsmen on Sunday that it was now obvious that the Ekweremadus had not participated in any questionable arrangement but rather had followed a set procedure to save the life of their daughter.
Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, President-General of Ohanaeze Youths, and Comrade Obinna Achionye, Secretary-General, both signed the letter of appeal.
“Following more emerging revelations in the case involving the former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, both true son and daughter of Igbo land, we find it expedient to make this open appeal to the UK Embassy in Nigeria.

“Contrary to earlier reports which flooded the media, it has become clear that the couple had no bad intention in mind.
“Having seen that they had no other intention rather than to save the life of their daughter, as nobody will sit by and watch their child die without making efforts, we deemed it necessary to make this appeal.
“We plead with the United Kingdom, through its Embassy here in Nigeria, to look into the implication of detaining the husband and the wife. We appeal for the release of one of them so the person can take care of the sick child who needs medical help urgently,” the group wrote.
They also slammed fifth columnists who they said had gone on to create pseudo accounts with the name of the alleged victim of organ harvesting, David Nwamini.
OYC said, “we observed that within the last 48 hours, no less than five fake Facebook accounts have been created with the profile of the alleged victim.

“This is no doubt the work of blackmailers as they have gone ahead to be making posts with the said unverified accounts. The posts contain spurious claims and allegations which are clearly the handiwork of political enemies, all aimed at bringing the Senator down.
“It is a matter of time and the identity of those behind this shall be unveiled if they fail to desist from their evil antics.
“They had earlier claimed that the boy in question is 15 years, but current revelations have proved otherwise. This is why we call for a thorough investigation.

“We urge the general public to discountenance those posts as the truth will surely prevail and Senator Ike Ekweremadu and the wife will come out of these allegations with their reputation unscathed.”
