The House of Representatives has resolved to take necessary measures to enable former deputy president of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, and his wife, Beatrice, who are being accused of organ trafficking in the United Kingdom, to get justice.
To this end, the House resolved to invite the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, acting Comptroller-general of the Nigerian Immigration Service, and director-general and chief executive officer of NIMC to brief the relevant committees of the House on all necessary actions taken regarding the matter.
He said the UK authorities should work with its Nigerian counterpart to “conduct a holistic and thorough investigation to ascertain all the facts relating to the allegation in order to make a fair determination on the issues in the best interest of equity and justice for all concerned”.
Deputy minority leader of the House, Toby Okechukwu, in his contribution said the UK may have acted on information that is not truthful.
