Ike Ekweremadu, former deputy senate president, has been found guilty of organ trafficking by a United Kingdom court.
His wife Beatrice, daughter Sonia and Obinna Obeta, a doctor involved in the case, were also found guilty.
The jury found that they conspired to bring the 21-year-old at the centre of the matter to London to exploit him for his kidney.
According to the UK Guardian, it is the first verdict of its kind under the Modern Slavery Act.
It would be recalled that the London Metropolitan Police arrested Ekweremadu and his wife in June 2022 and charged them with conspiracy to traffic a child to the United Kingdom in order to harvest organs.
