Reports say Matthew Page, an expert at the United States state department’s bureau of intelligence and research, had warned the United Kingdom’s national crime agency (NCA), of the activities of Ike Ekweremadu, former senate president, ahead of his organ trafficking case.

According to a report by UK Guardian, the associate fellow at the Chatham House had alerted the UK authorities to investigate the illicit affairs of Ekweremadu, before he was jailed for trafficking a man to London in an attempt to harvest his kidney.

In the report, Page found that in a 12-year period, Ekweremadu would have made about 339,000 euros as a political office holder.

But in that period he bought three properties – two in London and one in Cambridge – worth 4.2million euros. The Old Bailey heard that Ekweremadu had an international property portfolio worth more than 6million euros

Despite the warnings and financial red flags raised in the dossier, Ekweremadu’s organ trafficking plot went undetected until a young street trader from Lagos whom he had brought over fled to Staines police station in Surrey in May 2022 in fear for his life.
