In accordance with UK legislation, Senator Ike Ekweremadu’s alleged organ harvest case qualifies for bail, according to the Human Rights Writers Association (HURIWA), but his release on bail was revoked as a result of a letter from the UK Metropolitan Police.
The group explained that the UK Police initiated a letter using Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, which was submitted to Justice Inyang Ekwo Federal High Court and upheld, in a statement released by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, on Monday and obtained by Newsmen in Abuja.
The statement read: “That the London Metropolitan Police went as far as instigating a letter and court process in Nigeria by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, affirmed were used to scuttle Ekweremadu’s bail applications in the UK.”
Alleged Organ Harvest: EFCC Behind My Struggles – Ekweremadu
The development, HURIWA posited was despite the Federal Government’s readiness to serve as a sovereign guarantor for Ekweremadu’s bail.
“The UK government put a serving Nigerian Senator, Ike Ekweremadu, through trial without bail in a “clearly bailable offence”.
The panel instructed the FG to vigorously enforce Nigeria’s immigration regulations and bring any foreigner who was found to be in violation of the law to justice.
HURIWA argued that the nation of Nigeria had suffered at the hands of its erstwhile colonial overlords.
“This is the same country that denied a serving Nigerian Senator, three-term Deputy Senate President, and former Speaker of ECOWAS Parliament bail in a clearly bailable offence even after the FG submitted a letter to stand as a sovereign guarantor.”
Peter Obi Prays For The Recovery Of Ekweremadu’s Daughter
“Former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, revealed in its January post that another kidney transplant for Ekweremadu’s daughter, Sonia, scheduled for December 2023 was scuttled by the British system, which must put her through trial, not minding that she undergoes dialysis four times a week.
“The UK equally detained the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, recently.
“Therefore, no indicted officers of any foreign should be bigger than the Nigerian courts and government.”
