It was gathered that the 15-year-old victim, David Ukpo was compelled by the couple to agree to the donation of his kidney.

Contrastingly, emerging reports further confirmed that Ukpo who is said to be a minor is originally an adult (21-year-old).

Meanwhile, in the new court proceeding, the UK Attorney General, Suella Braverman, is expected to determine whether the case will be tried in the country or Nigeria.

As of the time of this report, Senator Ekweremadu and his wife are yet to appear before the court while some Nigerian senators were in court to witness the trial.
