It is stated that the organisation organised his flight from Lagos to London in order to have one of his kidneys removed for Sonia, who has a condition relating to her kidneys.
The young man, who had previously lived on the streets of Lagos, claimed he was a victim of trafficking at the Staines police station, leading to the arrest of Ike and Beatrice Ekweremadu.
The individual said that on February 20, 2018, he landed in the UK and was transported to Royal Free Hospital for testing, none of which he gave his approval for.
The individual claimed that after the tests, he went back to the residence where he was “treated essentially as a slave.”
Before approaching the police, he claimed to have left the address and been homeless for three days.
According to information obtained, the trial will start on January 31 at the Old Bailey before High Court Justice Adam Johnson.
Ike, a lawyer and former Senate vice president, and his wife Beatrice were detained in the UK on June 21 after arriving from Turkey via Heathrow.

He has also served three terms as vice president of the Senate, which he claimed was akin to being speaker of the House of Commons.
