The 21-year-old man at the center of the Ike Ekweremadu organ trafficking case, David Nwamini, says he is afraid to return to Nigeria.
Nwamini’s declaration was read in court on Friday during the sentencing of former Deputy Senate President, Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice, and the doctor-middleman, Obinna Obeta, who was sentenced to ten years and eight months, four years and six months, and ten years in jail, respectively.
He told the UK court he had been approached with an opportunity to work in the UK, which he had always desired but never imagined would come true.

Nwamimi said, “He (Dr. Obina Obeta) did not tell me he brought me here for this reason. He did not tell me anything about this.”
“I would have not agreed to any of this. My body is not for sale.”
“I worry for my safety in Nigeria. Those people can do anything. I think they could arrest me or kill me in Nigeria.”
“My plan now is to work and to get an education and to play football.”
David said, adding that he does not want to claim compensation from the “bad people” as it would be “cursed and bad luck.”
