Ekweremadu and wife, Beatrice denied the charge.

They denied any knowledge of the alleged conspiracy.

They also told the court they were the victim of a scam.

Obeta, on his part also denied the charge, claiming that the man was not offered a reward for his kidney and was acting altruistically.

Meanwhile, the former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo had written to the British authorities pleading on behalf of the legislator to temper justice with mercy, while delivering the sentence.
