United Kingdom has rejected a request from the Nigerian government to transfer former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu to Nigeria to complete his prison sentence.
Ekweremadu is currently serving time in a UK facility after he was found guilty in 2023 of plotting to harvest the kidney of a young man.
The former Nigerian Deputy Senate President got a jail term of nine years and eight months following the conviction, which stemmed from a high-profile organ-trafficking case that drew international attention.
With the current stance of the UK government, Ekweremadu will remain in the European country to serve out the remainder of his sentence.
