Organ Trafficking: Trouble Deepens for Ekweremadu as Victim Makes Demand

There is more trouble for former Senator Ike Ekweremadu as the alleged victim of organ trafficking, David Ukpo has made a fresh demand.

David, on Tuesday asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to set aside its July 1 order for the release of his bio-data for use in a London court in the ongoing trial of the Ekweremadus.

While faulting the proceedings of the court that led to the issuance of the order, the alleged victim claimed that his fundamental rights to a fair hearing and personal privacy had been grossly breached.

Hi grouse was that neither he nor the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, as Chief Law Officer of the Federation, was made a party in the suit.

In a motion on notice he filed this afternoon through his lawyer, Mr Bamidele Igbinedion, Ukpo prayed Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo to reverse the order permitting the release of his bio-data to Ekweremadu and his wife for their defence before Uxbridge Magistrate Court in London.

Defendants in the motion bothering on the alleged breach of fundamental rights are National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service, Stanbic IBTC Bank, United Bank for Africa, UBA, and Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System.

The applicant is praying the court to restrain the defendants, their agents, privies, staff, and workers from releasing any information concerning him to Ekweremadu and his wife for their defense in the London court.
