In a suit brought before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High, Abuja, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife Beatrice Ekweremadu have sued the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), and two commercial banks, the Stanbic IBTC Bank and the United Bank for Africa (UBA).
The Senator and his wife are seeking for documents which they think will help their defense in the ongoing criminal trial for alleged conspiracy for organ harvesting of a child in the UK.
Clariform reported that a UK criminal trial was brought against the former Deputy Senate President and his wife last week, when they were both arrested in the UK on the suspicion that they had facilitated the travel of a 15 year old “child”, one David Ukpo Nwamini to the UK in a case of “organ harvesting”.
Contrary to this claim, the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) on Monday released a statement confirming that the age of the said David Ukpo Nwamini is 21 years and not 15 years as claimed by the London Metropolitan Police.
The senator representing Enugu West and his wife are now suing the NIMC to produce a Certified True Copy (CTC) of the said David Ukpo Nwamini`s bio data with the Commission, which they also hope will help swear the UK criminal matter in their favour.
The new law suit was brought through originating summon which Clariform has obtained, was filed by their counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).
In the said suit, the Plaintiffs through their counsel is praying for the order of the court mandating the NIMC and NIS to produce all relevant documents with which David`s international passport application was made and obtained and to tender same before the UK Magistrate at Uxbridge in the UK.
The Plaintiffs also want the court to mandate two commercial banks, the Stanbic IBTC Bank and UBA to produce the Certified True Copies of David`s mandate card and account opening package in their custody, which they (Plaintiff) also belief will help in defense of their case.
Clariform reports that the new suit by Senator Ekweremadu has been fixed for mention on the 1st of July. This is 6 days before the next hearing date for the UK criminal trial, which was adjourned to 7th of July 2022.
