The victim in the centre of former Deputy Senate President of Nigeria, Ike Ekweremadu’s organ tr@fficking ordeal has said he wanted to remain and work in the UK, as “they could arrest me or k#ll me in Nigeria”.
The victim, David Nwamini, said this in his impact statement which was read in court on Friday, May 5, Independence UK reports.
Ekweremadu, 60, his wife, Beatrice, 56, and the doctor-middleman, Obinna Obeta, 51, were sentenced at the Old Bailey after being found guilty of conspiring to arrange the travel of a young man with a view to expl%iting him for his body part.
David Nwamini claimed he was lured to the United Kingdom under the guise of job opportunity in the country.
According to him, “He (Dr Obina Obeta) did not tell me he brought me here for this reason. He did not tell me anything about this. I would have not agreed to any of this. My body is not for sale.
I worry for my safety in Nigeria. Those people can do anything. I think they could arrest me or k#ll me in Nigeria. My plan now is to work and to get an education and to play football.”
He told the police he did not want to claim compensation from the “b@d people” as it would be “c¥rsed and bad luck”, the report added.
He also said someone visited his father in Nigeria and asked the father to get him to drop the case.
