UK warned about Nigerian politician's wealth before organ trafficking case
A former US intelligence analyst, Matthew Page, had warned the UK about Ike Ekweremadu's unexplained wealth and activities in Britain, including buying properties worth millions of pounds and funding expensive private education for his children. The warnings were ignored, and Ekweremadu and his wife were recently jailed for attempting to traffic a man to London to harvest his kidney. Page's research suggests that tuition fee payments made by West African politicians to UK institutions may include proceeds of crime and constitute an illicit cashflow.
