There are indications that the Central Criminal Court United Kingdom will not have the trial of former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, and his wife, Beatrice, over organ trafficking on onday as earlier scheduled.
This, according to Guardian.ng, is due to the fact that their ailing daughter, Sonia, will not be available.
Ekweremadu and his wife have been charged with wanting to make payment for the procurement of an organ for their daughter, Sonia, from one David Nwamini.
The allegation led to the detention of Ekweremadu in a UK prison after the June 23 arrest.

The report added, “the court official didn’t categorically say whether the Ekweremadus’ sickly graduate daughter, Sonia, is now a defendant in the case, for which her parents were arrested. The Old Bailey official said they won’t have to wait for long, as the “case will be re-listed for sometime during the week.”
Speaking further, the court official maintained that although Monday, October 31, 2022, was fixed when the couple and their co-defendant appeared before the judge on August 4, Sonia wasn’t listed in the hearing then, adding, “the judge won’t be hearing the case because ‘there’s no counsel for Sonia.’”
