A socio-economic activist, Aisha Yesufu, has reacted to
reports making the rounds that two Nigerians were arrested in the United
Kingdom over alleged organ harvesting.
Reports making the rounds said one Ike Ekweremadu and his
wife Beatrice Nwanneka Ekweremadu were arrested in the UK for allegedly
facilitating the “travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely
organ harvesting”.
According to the metropolitan police, “Beatrice Nwanneka
Ekweremadu, 55 (10.9.66) of Nigeria is charged with conspiracy to
arrange/facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely
organ harvesting,” the statement reads.
“Ike Ekweremadu, 60 (12.05.62) of Nigeria is charged with
conspiracy to arrange/facilitate travel of another person with a view to
exploitation, namely organ harvesting”.
Reacting, Aisha Yesufu, in a tweet on her official Twitter
handle expressed fear over the development.
According to her, such cases may have been happening in the
country as people keep going missing.
“How many missing people are related to organ harvesting?
How many such cases have been happening in countries where they do not care and
corruption is rife? How many are even happening here! This is scary,” she
tweeted.
