Ekweremadu’s U.K Arrest: Alleged organ donor is 21yrs and not 15yrs — Immigration

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has revealed the true age of Nwamini David Ukpo, the “kidney donor” at the heart of the alleged transplant saga involving former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and his wife Beatrice.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, June 26, NIS Comptroller General Isah Idris stated that Ukpo is actually 21 years old, not 15, as previously reported.

“The facts of the matter are that the said Mr. David Ukpo Nwamina applied and paid for the enhanced standard passport using the NIS portal after which he approached the Gwagwalada Passport Office, FCT Abuja, on the 2nd November, 2021 for his interview.

To support his application, Mr. Nwamina presented all the necessary documents required, including his National Population Commission (NPC) issued Birth Certificate, showing 12 October, 2000, as his date of birth; his National Identity Number (NIN) corroborating the date of birth on his birth certificate, issued by NIMC; a letter of introduction issued by Ebonyi State Government Liaison Office situated at Maitama District Abuja, and a Guarantor’s form duly signed by one Mr. Uchechukwu Chukwuma Ogbonno.

The Nigerian Immigration service relies on information and documentation from other government agencies as the National Population Commission, NPC, and the National Identification Management Commission, NIMC.” He said

We recall that Ekweremadu and his wife were arrested at Heathrow Airport in London by The Metropolitan Police for alleged human trafficking and organ harv#sting. They were arraigned in Uxbridge Magistrates Court on Thursday, but were denied bail and remanded in custody until July 7.
