to release David Nwamini’s biodata information to a former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
The Ekweremadus were arrested in June in the U.K., with the London Metropolitan Police insisting that Mr Nwanini was 15 years old while the couple maintained that he was 21. Responding, NIMC’s lawyer, Muazu Mohammed, informed the judge that the commission was reluctant to comply with the court order because it was not served with the hearing notice prior to the issuance of the order.
He added that because the applicants to whom Mr Nwamini’s biodata information was ordered to be released, such opportunities might be abused in future.The judge, however, said the order was not made because of the status of the applicants, adding that it could have been issued to any ordinary Nigerian in need of the protection of the court under similar circumstances.
The suit followed the disclosure by immigration authorities in Nigeria that Mr Nwanini’s records from the National Population Commission and NIMC gave his date of birth as October 12, 2000, as against the alleged claims by the organ donor that he is a 15-year-old.
