Nigerian politician convicted in UK organ harvesting scheme.

A Nigerian senator and his wife have been found guilty in a London court of a plot to harvest the organs of a young man from Nigeria who was lured to the UK with the promise of a job. The couple arranged a visa for the victim and a private transplant at London's Royal Free Hospital, with a health tourism company acting as a go-between. The victim later escaped and reported the crime to the police. The couple and a third defendant, a doctor, were convicted of conspiracy to arrange/facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation – namely organ harvesting - under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
