After being arraigned before Uxbridge Magistrates Court, the Attorney-General of the England and Wales will be deciding if former Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and wife Beatrice, will face trial in the UK over allegations of human trafficking/organ harvesting.
The decision will be taken in 14 days time.
Recall that on Thursday June 23 the Ekweremadus were brought before Uxbridge Magistrates Court, but were denied bail and remanded in custody until July 7 pending further investigation.
Addressing the court, Damla Ayas, the crown prosecutor, noted that “part of the allegations” against the couple took place in Nigeria.
Ayas further revealed that the case was “unique” and would require a decision by Sue-Ellen Braverman, the attorney general, on where the trial will be held.
