The Former Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate and his wife allegedly committed the crime because they need a kidney donor for their ailing daughter who is battling a kidney disease.

However, corresponding reports revealed that the Enugu lawmaker informed the British High Commission about the kidney donation for his daughter in a letter addressed to the commission.

In the letter, Ekeweremadu penned down his support of a visa applicant who was scheduled for “medical investigations for a kidney donation to Ms. Sonia Ekweremadu”.

Reacting to the development, the 2023 presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, took to his verified Twitter account to show support for the embattled politician and his family while praying for justice to be served.

In his words, the former Governor of Anambra State wrote:

“My family and I are with the Ekweremadu’s over their travail. We join all men of goodwill in praying for the healing of their daughter and commit them into God’s hand for justice to be done. -PO”
