Organ harvest victim came to the UK to work, court told
BBC News
The prosecution claims Mr Ekweremadu paid middle-men thousands of pounds to find a donor in Nigeria and arrange the kidney transplant in Britain.The street trader described being "controlled" and was told to lie about having a family connection with the Ekweremadu family before a consultation at the Royal Free Hospital, in north London, in February 2022."I was crying when he told me about that. I told him that I don't know anything about a kidney transplant," he said.
Aged 15, he moved to Lagos to work with an uncle selling mobile phone accessories in a market. Six years later, he was offered the opportunity to travel to London by the defendant Dr Obeta, described by the prosecution as Mr Ekweremadu's "fixer". Despite the decision not to go ahead with the transplant, the trader gave evidence that he had later been examined by two other unidentified doctors at the home of Dr Obeta, who he also accused of making him work as a "house boy" and not paying him, jurors were told.
