A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the release of the official details of David Nwamini to Senator Ike Ekweremadu, and his wife, Beatrice.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, who gave the order in a judgement delivered on Friday, directed the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), and two commercial banks to release Nwamini’s details in their possession to the couple.
This followed an originating summon filed by Senator Ekweremadu and his wife through their counsel Adegboyega Awomolo.
The couple are being detained by the United Kingdom authorities over allegations of conspiring to bring a child to Britain for organ harvesting with Nwamini said to be the victim.
Following their arrest by the London Metropolitan Police, they appeared before a UK court which ordered that they should be remanded in custody till July 7 while investigations continue into the allegations against them.
Although the Met police said Nwamini was 15, the NIS said it issued an international passport indicating his age as 21 after due process.
In a bid to clear his clients of the allegations, Awomolo approached the court in Abuja, seeking an order directing the NIMC to produce the Certified True Copy of the biodata of David Ukpo Nwamini.
