Obeta is also alleged to have conspired with the former Deputy Senate President to arrange or facilitate the travel of David with a view to exploiting him via organ harvesting.

The charges against the doctor

The charges come under the Modern Slavery Act, according to The Mail of London.

Prosecutors claim the Ekweremadus planned to have David’s kidney removed so it could be given to their daughter.

David is said to have refused to consent to the procedure after undergoing tests at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, north-west London.

The prosecutors are also accusing the Ekweremadus of treating David as a slave before he escaped and went to Staines police station in Surrey.
