UK Rejects Nigeria's Request to Transfer Ekweremadu for Prison Sentence

The UK government has rejected the Federal Government of Nigeria's appeal to transfer Ekweremadu, who is currently serving a nine-year, eight-month prison sentence in the UK for organ trafficking. Despite discussions between high-level Nigerian and UK delegations, the UK Ministry of Justice officially declined the request.

Ekweremadu's case remains in the UK, with no possibility of transfer to Nigeria at this time.
