The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has implored the British Government to temper justice with mercy over the former Nigerian Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu who is awaiting the verdict of the court on organ harvesting. 

In a statement released by the Commission Spokesman, Abdur- Rahman Balogun on Wednesday, the NIDCOM Boss joined others to plead for leniency, compassion, sympathy with the British Court in this case.

According to her, “I join men and women of goodwill to plead for clemency for former Depute Senate President, Senator, Ike Ekweremadu while awaiting court verdict on organ harvesting.



“If only even considering the psychological trauma, Sonia, the daughter, would be going through knowing that her parents are in jail because they tried to save her from a health condition she had no control over”, Dabiri-Erewa pleaded.

The NIDCOM boss posited that though there is no ignorance before the law, Ekweremadu and his wife acted under natural instincts of parents to save an ailing daughter, and not for commercial purposes.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives on Tuesday wrote the United Kingdom government to interfere in the sentencing of the Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, and his wife, Beatrice.

This followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance raised by one of the member, Toby Okechukwu, during the plenary session of the House.



The lawmakers stepped in while pleaded that the UK court “temper justice with mercy” in the sentencing of the lawmaker and urged Federal Government to take diplomatic steps to intervene in his trial.

The House has asked the Clerk of the lower legislative chamber to “convey” their resolutions in writing to the British Embassy, the UK government and the parliament.

Ekweremadu is due to be sentenced on May 5 at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey in the UK.

Ekweremadu, 60; his wife, Beatrice, 56; and Dr Obinna Obeta, 51, were found guilty of processing the travel of a young man to Britain with a view to his exploitation after a six-week trial in London.
