The Lagos street trader who accused the former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, of trying to harvest his kidney in the United Kingdom, told a British court on Tuesday that he begged police officers to 'save my life'.

He told the court that he would be paid around £2,000 for the operation and that he had been coached to tell doctors he was part of the Ekweremadu family.

All three of the Ekweremadus and their doctor are on trial at London’s famous Central Criminal Court. They have pleaded not guilty and face life imprisonment if convicted. In Britain, it is legal to donate a kidney, but not for reward. Prosecutors say regardless of whether or not the Lagos street trader gave his consent, a crime was committed by the wealthy Nigerians.

The consultant doctor said the young man had “limited understanding” of why he was there and was “visibly relieved” on being told the transplant would not go ahead, prosecutor Hugh Davies earlier told the court.He has remained in custody after the judge agreed with prosecutors that he could try to flee the UK. His wife and daughter are out on conditional bail.All rights reserved.
