Apex Igbo sociocultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has disagreed with Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, that the Federal Government will not interfere with any local or international legal battle involving the former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who is facing trial for alleged organ harvest in the United Kingdom.

Malami told journalists at the 46th Session of the State House Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Presidential Villa, Abuja that “it has never been the tradition of the Nigerian government to interfere in anything judicial, local or international”.

But Ohanaeze disagreed with Malami, saying FG could intervene on Ekweremadu’s matter because “sovereigns usually interfere to save their citizens in foreign countries”.
