Former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has told the United Kingdom court that almost everyone was trying to take an advantage of his ailing 25-year-old daughter, Sonia.<\/p>\n

According to BBC, Ekweremadu also said he thought he was being \u201cscammed\u201d by doctors<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that the 60-year-old Ekweremadu was arrested in the UK<\/a> and prosecuted for conspiring to facilitate the travel of a Lagos trader, David Ukpo to Britain to use him as an organ donor for his sick daughter.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old street trader was to be paid up to \u00a37,000 in exchange for a kidney and promised opportunities in the UK for helping Ekweremadu\u2019s daughter<\/a>, Sonia, the Old Bailey heard.<\/p>\n

But, Ekweremadu, his wife Beatrice, 56, Sonia and medical \u201cmiddleman\u201d Dr Obinna Obeta all deny the same charge.<\/p>\n

The street trader was falsely presented as Sonia\u2019s cousin in a failed bid to persuade medics at the Royal Free Hospital in London to carry out the \u00a380,000 private procedure, the court was told.<\/p>\n

Giving evidence on Tuesday, Ekweremadu, a Senator from Enugu, who has an address in Willesden Green, north-west London, was asked about an invoice for \u00a38,000 he received via his brother Diwe on 8 February 2022.<\/p>\n

In his message, Diwe wrote he had received a \u201chuge invoice\u201d from a consultant doctor. He wrote: \u201cIt looks like they\u2019re all out to exploit people\u2019s unfortunate situation,\u201d the court heard.<\/p>\n

BBC reported that the defendant told jurors his view was that he was being \u201cscammed\u201d.<\/p>\n

Defence barrister Martin Hicks KC asked: \u201cWhy not at this stage say we are being scammed Dr Obeta, end of, stop?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Taking advantage\u2019<\/p>\n

Ekweremadu replied, \u201cMy daughter\u2019s life was on the line so if we stop we will be putting my daughter\u2019s life in danger. So we just keep moving.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody was obviously taking advantage of my daughter\u2019s ill health.\u201d<\/p>\n

The defendant was also asked about an unsigned affidavit dated 19th January 2022 which was recovered from Dr Obeta\u2019s home in Southwark, south London, which falsely stated that the proposed donor was Sonia\u2019s cousin.<\/p>\n

Ekweremadu told jurors, \u201cI felt embarrassed because that\u2019s not true and I told my daughter to ignore the document.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI told her not to sign it\u2026 If you sign an affidavit you have to tell the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked who created the document, the defendant said: \u201cI have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ekweremadu added his family had written to a court in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, to find the origin of the affidavit, but Hicks told the court, \u201cIt\u2019s a forgery, \u201d and Ekweremadu agreed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
