Abuja, May 3, 2023: Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in
Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has joined others in pleading with the UK
government to show leniency with former Nigeria Deputy Senate
President, Ike
Ekweremadu awaiting the verdict of the court on organ harvesting.
In a statement by Abdur-Rahman Balogun Head of Media, Public Relations
and Protocols of NIDCOM in Abuja, she pleaded with the court to show
compassion and sympathy in this case
” I join men and women of goodwill to plead for clemency for Sen. Ike
Ekweremadu , if only even considering the psychological trauma, Sonia ,
the daughter, would be going through knowing that her parents are in
jail because they tried to save her from a health condition she had no
control over”, Dabiri-Erewa pleaded.
Dabiri-Erewa who reiterated her pleas, implored the UK government to
temper justice with mercy, admitted that “mistakes have been made , and
lessons learnt”.
The NIDCOM boss posited that though there is no ignorance before the
law, Ekweremadu and his wife acted under natural instincts of parents to
save an ailing daughter, and not for commercial purposes.
