KIDNEY TRANSPLANT ACTION: Sonia, ekweremadu's daughter who is scheduled for a kidney transplant, speaks out
The former Deputy President of the Senate's daughter, Sonia Ekweremadu, issued a statement after her parents were imprisoned in a London courtroom on Jama'a Day.
Although she acknowledged that she understood the reasons the English court had locked up her parents, she stated in her interview with the BBC that she did not "accept her status as their daughter."
"I'll always be there for my folks. What then? The effects of the law on them are already apparent. Now, all that is left for us to do is accept our fate and carry on as a single family.
Before making the choice, this debate took place. She claimed that it was very challenging for her to maintain her composure when she thought about the court arresting her parents due to her condition.
I worry about it and I can't help it since I believe my parents are using it as an excuse to get involved in this argument.
Due to her kidney illness, Sonia will require dialysis or a kidney transplant till the very end of her life.
She claimed that despite searching for a family member who could adopt a kid for her, they were all unsuccessful because everyone they met shared Sonia's condition with the exception of them. It's unclear.
The English court sentenced Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the Senate's vice president, to 9 years and 8 months in prison, according to a report in PREMIUM TIMES.
The court also handed down sentences of 4 years and 6 months for his wife Beatrice and 10 years for his doctor.
They were found responsible for the transportation of a young boy from Lagos to London so that Sonia, Ekweremadu's daughter, may receive a testicle transplant from one of the kid's testicles.
Sonia was dismissed by the judge, who claimed that she had not broken any laws.
The other three were found responsible for trying to perform an unauthorized kidney transplant.
Sonia, the daughter of Ekweremadu, who has a severe kidney condition, was seen sobbing in court when the judge released her.
The judge remarked to the culprits, "All three of you have committed crimes that are too serious to be fined or listed as littering the street."
They were held responsible for illegally bringing a boy, age 21, from Nigeria to London so that his kidney could be removed and put into Sonia, Ekweremadu's daughter.
The kidney transplant procedure is scheduled to cost 80,000 pounds at London's Royal Free Hospital, a private facility.
The first individual to be detained for the crime of selling human body parts for transplantation into other people's bodies is Ekweremadu.
While it is legal for someone to lend money to another person out of their own pocket, doing so while also receiving payment or some form of compensation is against the law.
The prosecutor testified in court that Ekweremadu promised the sought boy he would be cared for and lived a comfortable life in London in exchange for £7,000.
He was the one who was going to have his kidney removed; however, he had no idea what was going to be done to him in London until he met the doctor, who informed him that he had been taken to the hospital to have his stomach removed.
The youngster was relieved to learn that the surgery that was planned for him couldn't be done, according to the doctor. because he is unaware of the situation's reality.
Although there is no family connection between the young man from London and Sonia Ekweremadu, it is said that he was mistaken for her brother. The doctors did not consent to the kidney transplant because of that.
The Judge: Su Ekweremadu Intent To Harm The Youth
The judge stated that the hospital had informed them that a transplant was not possible, but Ekweremadu was certain he had just taken the child's kidney. Let's move on. The Judge claimed that the youngster intended to suffer damage.
He would have died with only one kidney if his kidney had been removed, and he would not have been able to take care of himself after losing one of his kidneys. The judge said.
He continued by saying that the young youngster was not entirely aware of the risks he would encounter.
Now residing in London, Sonia visits a hair salon once a week.
Joanne Jakymec, the prosecutor, claimed that the request made by Ekweremadu was malicious and demonstrated a lack of regard for the child's health, life, or general well-being.
