FG rules out interference in Ekweremadu’s UK trial
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Thursday, said the Federal Government will not interfere with any local or international legal battle involving a former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu , who is currently facing trial for alleged organ harvest in the United Kingdom.
He added, “In view of the fact that, the transmission of international documents is a function of a department central authority unit in the Office of the Attorney General and on the request of Senator Ekweremadu, an agency of government was asked to respond to certain inquiries, they did, and under seal, they presented their default which was transmitted to UK accordingly.
“So the implication of what I’m trying to state in essence is we have mutual legal assistance, understanding with the UK, and whichever of the agencies, either the Senator as an accused or suspect, or indeed the agencies in the UK, make any request for international support, we will respond accordingly.
