Wealthy couple guilty of plotting to bring man to UK to harvest kidney for daughter

A wealthy couple who plotted to bring a young man to the UK to harvest his kidney for their daughter have been found guilty.

Nigerian senator Ike Ekweremadu, 60, his wife Beatrice, 56, and daughter Sonia, 25, faced a shocking trial at the Old Bailey, accused of conspiring to traffic a young man to Britain for his body parts.

They faced the accusations along with medical “middleman” Dr Obinna Obeta, 50, who was also found guilty, and were said to have created an “elaborate” back story to try and get away with it, utilising their connections to get the donor a visa.
