The former Deputy President of the Senate IKE Ekweremadu, his wife Beatrice, and their doctor, Obinna Obeta have been found guilty of organ trafficking by a United Kingdom UK court.

The jury found that the trio conspired to bring a 21-year-old Lagos street trader to London to harvest his kidney for their ailing daughter, Sonia.

The victim said he was promised opportunities in the UK for help and that he only realized what was going on when he met doctors at the hospital.

Although it is lawful to donate a kidney, the law stipulates that it is criminal if there is a reward of money or other material advantages.

Meanwhile, the judge will give a sentence at a later date.
