Ekweremadu's daughter, who was scheduled for a kidney transplant, spoke
On Jama'a Day, Sonia Ekweremadu, the daughter of the former Deputy President of the Senate, Eke Ekweremadu, made a statement after her parents were locked up in the ruling of the Judge in London.
In an interview with the BBC, she said that she knew why the English court put her parents in jail, but she did not "accept her status as their daughter."
"I'll always be there for my parents. Then what? They have already been punished by the law. Now, the only thing we can do is accept our fate and keep living as one family."
Before the choice was made, this was talked about. She said that it was hard for her to keep her head up when she thought about the fact that her parents would be arrested because of her illness.
"I'm worried about it, and I can't help it, because I think my parents got involved in this conflict for their own reasons."
Sonia Ekweremadu has kidney disease. This means that she will need dialysis or a kidney donation until the end of her life.
She said that they tried to find someone in their family who could give her the baby, but they failed because everyone else has the same problem that Sonia does them. I don't understand.
reports that an English court has jailed Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the Deputy President of the Senate, to 9 years and 8 months in prison.
His wife, Beatrice, got 4 years and 6 months in prison, and his doctor got 10 years.
They were found guilty of sending a young boy from Lagos to London so that one of his testicles could be taken and given to Ekweremadu's daughter, Sonia.
The judge threw out Sonia's case because she hadn't done anything wrong.
The other three tried to do an illegal kidney exchange, which was found to be wrong.
After the court let her go, Sonia, Ekweremadu's daughter, who has very bad kidney disease, was seen crying in court.
Judge Johnson told the criminals, "You've all done things that are too bad to be fined or put on a list for littering the street."
They were found guilty of secretly taking a 21-year-old boy from Nigeria to London so that his kidney could be taken out and given to Ekweremadu's daughter, Sonia.
The kidney transplant is going to happen in a luxury hospital in London called Royal Free Hospital. It will cost 80,000 pounds.
Ekweremadu is the first person ever to be caught for selling organs from one person to be put into the body of another.
Even though it is legal for someone to help someone else with their own money, it is a very serious crime to pay the person who will give the money or give them something else in exchange.
The lawyer told the court that Ekweremadu gave £7,000 to the wanted child and told him he would be taken care of and live well in London.
He was the one who was going to have his kidney taken out. He didn't know what was going to happen to him in London until he met the doctor, who told him that he was being taken to the hospital to have his stomach taken out, remove one of his kidneys, and give it to Ekweremadu's daughter.
The boy was very happy to hear that the surgery that was supposed to be done on him couldn't happen, the doctor said. Because he doesn't know how things really are.
People thought that the young man from London was Sonia Ekweremadu's brother, but there is no connection between them. Even so, that didn't make the doctors agree to give the kidneys to someone else.
Su Ekweremadu Meant to Hurt Young People—The Judge:
The judge said that the hospital said it wasn't possible to do the transplant, but Ekweremadu was sure that he only took the kidney out of the child's body. Let's keep going. The judge thought that the goal was to hurt the child.
"If his kidney had been taken out, he would have died with only one kidney, and he wouldn't have been able to take care of his health after that." The judge said.
He also said that the boy was not fully aware of the risks he could face.
Sonia now lives in London, and every week she gets her hair cut.
Prosecutor Joanne Jakymec said that what Ekweremadu asked to do was bad, and that they showed they didn't even care about the health, life, or well-being of the child whose kidney they wanted to be taken out.
