‘Her plight touched me’ — lady offers to donate kidney to Ekweremadu’s daughter

A lady who identified herself as Martha Uche has offered to donate her kidney to Sonia, daughter of Ike Ekweremadu, former deputy senate president.

TheCable had reported that Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, were arrested and charged to court for allegedly bringing a child to the UK for organ harvesting.

The couple were subsequently remanded in custody in the UK while investigations are ongoing.

In a video making the rounds online, Martha said she had a dream where she was instructed to save Sonia’s life.

“I want to do that because I need to help the girl, she is dying. They have already showed me in my dream that I should help the girl,” Martha said.

“I’ve already seen her a long time ago. Even this morning I still had the same dream so I need to do it fast.”

When asked what her demands were for offering to donate her kidney, Martha said: “I do not have any demands for now. I just need to save the girl’s life; that is the most important thing for now.”

So I met a lady (Marta) today in Ilorin who says she's ready to donate her kidney for the daughter of Ike Ekweremadu….. She said she saw it in a dream that she should help the girl

TheCable also reported that the former deputy senate president had written to the UK high commission to support a visa application of a “donor” listed as Ukpo Nwamini David.

In the letter, Ekweremadu said Ukpo was undergoing “medical investigations for a kidney donation to Ms Sonia Ekweremadu”.

Although the police had said the donor was 15, data from his international passport indicate that he is 21 years old.

Several reactions have trailed the recent development.
