Organ Harvest Allegation: UK university suspends Ekweremadu as visiting professor

Following the alleged conspiracy of kidney harvest of a 15-year-old Ukpo Nwamini David in London, the University of Lincoln, United Kingdom (UK), has banned Senator Ike Ekweremadu, whom it recently appointed as a visiting Professor of Corporate and International Linkages.

The institution appointed Ekweremadu as a visiting Professor of Corporate and International Linkages just over a week ago.

Lincoln University said it will not comment further on the matter until the conclusion of the UK Police investigation on the former Nigerian Deputy Senate President and his wife Beatrice.

Visiting professors are often, as is in this case, non-resident at the university, unpaid and advisory, a Lincoln University spokesperson said.

We are deeply concerned about the nature of these allegations; but as this is an active police investigation, we cannot comment further at this stage. Whilst this matter is subject to investigation, this person will not be undertaking any duties as visiting professor at Lincoln.

Recall that Ekweremadu, the senator representing Enugu-West senatorial district, was arrested by UK Metropolitan Police on Tuesday with his wife Beatrice for conspiracy to harvest the organs of a minor. The couple were arraigned at the Uxbridge Magistrate Court in London, where the prosecutor disclosed that the minor is a 15-year-old boy named Ukpo Nwamini David.

Reports said Ekweremadu and his wife facilitated Davids entry into the UK to transplant his kidney into their daughter, who is suffering from kidney failure.

Meanwhile, the copy of a letter supposedly written by Ekweremadu notifying the British High Commission explaining the situation has been in circulation on social media.

The spokesperson of the senator was unable to speak on the issue at the time of filing this report.
