Ekweremadu can no longer function as visiting professor of our institution—Lincoln university

Lincoln—The University of Lincoln, England has banned Senator Ike Ekweremadu, from serving as a visiting professor at the institution.

This is in the wake of the allegations that the former deputy Senate president and his wife, Beatrice, tried to ‘harvest organs from a 15-year-old boy that had been trafficked to the UK using a fake passport’.

According to reports by PM News, the University of Lincoln Spokesperson said: ‘Visiting professors are often, as is in this case, non-resident at the university, unpaid and advisory.

‘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,’ the spokesperson said, according to Mail Online.

It was reported that a consultant working in an NHS hospital refused to remove the vital organ of the would-be-kidney donor who was allegedly trafficked to London from the streets of Lagos by the senator and his wife, a court heard.

Ike Ekweremadu, 60, and Beatrice Ekweremadu, 55, are accused of taking the homeless youngster to the UK from Nigeria to transplant his organs into their daughter who is suffering from kidney failure.

The doctor at the Royal Free in Camden became suspicious about whether the alleged victim was aware he was the donor of the kidney and whether he was 41 as his passport claimed.

The 15-year-old was given the passport of a 41-year-old to get into the UK but did not know he was there to donate a kidney until he went to a hospital appointment in London, a court heard yesterday.

After he arrived in the capital in February he had a string of medical appointments about kidney donation.

But a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, North London, became concerned about the boy’s real age and if he knew he was there to donate an organ, it is alleged.

However, both deny trafficking the boy.
