Nigerian Senator and Wife Jailed for Organ Trafficking Plot in UK

Nigerian senator Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, and a doctor have been sentenced to prison in the UK for their involvement in an organ harvesting plot. They were found guilty of trafficking a 21-year-old street trader to the UK to provide a kidney for the senator's daughter. This is the first conviction of its kind under Britain's modern slavery laws. The victim was promised work and a reward of up to £7,000 but was unaware that he was expected to provide a kidney in return. The medical consultant called off the transplant after becoming suspicious, and the victim fled and reported the plan to UK police.
