Three convicted of conspiring to exploit a man for his kidney in first verdict of its kind under Modern Slavery Act

A senior Nigerian politician, his wife, and a doctor have been convicted of organ trafficking, in the first verdict of its kind under the Modern Slavery Act.

Ike Ekweremadu, 60, a former deputy president of the Nigerian senate, his wife, Beatrice, 56, and Dr Obinna Obeta, 51, were found guilty of facilitating the travel of a young man to Britain with a view to his exploitation after a six-week trial at the Old Bailey.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been offered an illegal reward to become a donor for the senator’s daughter after kidney disease forced her to drop out of a master’s degree in film at Newcastle University, the court heard. Sonia Ekweremadu was found not guilty.

1. Every nation, most acutely white nations, need a Modern Anti Slavery Act!

Throw in an anti corruption act, and hate speech laws…and democracy can start cooking the curry!

2. Since it's not clear from the Guardian story - the transplant did not take place

The court heard that Dr Peter Dupont, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital, concluded the donor was not an appropriate candidate after learning he had no counselling or advice about the risks of surgery and also lacked funds for the lifelong care he would need.

Undeterred, a "corrupt interpreter" was allegedly enlisted for £1,500 to help at the donor's second hospital meeting with a surgeon.

An investigation was subsequently launched after the young man ran away from London and slept rough for days before walking into a police station more than 20 miles away in Staines, Surrey, crying and in distress.

He told police he did not understand why he had been brought to the UK until he met Dr Dupont, telling officers: "The doctor said I was too young, but the man said if you do not do it here he would carry me back to Nigeria and do it there.

3. Yes thankfully - I heard that on the BBC

A lot of this madness goes on in India and is facilitated by that Caste system
