The University of Lincoln, has banned Senator Ike Ekweremadu, from serving as a visiting professor, in the wake of the allegation he tried to ‘harvest organs from a 15-year-old boy that had been trafficked to the UK using a fake passport’.
A consultant working in a NHS hospital refused to remove the vital organ of the would-be-kidney donor who was allegedly trafficked to London from the streets of Lagos by the former deputy president of the Nigerian Senate and his wife, a court heard.
Ike Ekweremadu, 60, and Beatrice Ekweremadu, 55, are accused of taking the homeless youngster to the UK from Nigeria to transplant his organs into their daughter who is suffering from kidney failure.
Ekweremadu had, soon after the university appointment two weeks ago, tweeted: “It was a pleasure and an honour to receive a letter of appointment by the University of Lincoln, UK, as Visiting Professor of Corporate and International Linkages. I also got a highly treasured gift – a copy of the Magna Carta. It was created in 1215, about 807 years ago.”
A University of Lincoln Spokesperson said: “Visiting professors are often, as is in this case, non-resident at the university, unpaid and advisory.
“We are deeply concerned about the nature of these allegations but as this is an active police investigation, we cannot comment further at this stage.
“Whilst this matter is subject to investigation, this person will not be undertaking any duties as visiting professor at Lincoln,’ the spokesperson said, according to Mail Online.
However, contrary to the claim by the British prosecutors Ukpo David Nwamini’s official National Identification Number, NIN shows that he’s truly not an underage and above 21 years.
According to the document sighted by our correspondent, the Donor was born on 12th of October, 2000. This means he’s over 21 years and corresponds with the claim on his visa application.
The Uxbridge Magistrate ordered Ekweremadu and his wife be remanded in custody until July 7, 2022, for the next hearing on the case.
