Former Deputy President Nigerian Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has urged a Federal High Court sitting in Enugu State to dismiss the application seeking to declare his Senate Seat vacant.
Senator Ekweremadu who hails from the Mpu community in the Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State is representing the Enugu West senatorial district at the upper legislative chamber of the National Assembly.
However, Ekweremadu and his wife are standing trial in the United Kingdom (UK) over an alleged conspiracy to harvest organs, following their arrests by the Specialist Crime Team of the Metropolitan Police in London in June 2022.
In the case, which came up Wednesday, for argument, Ekweremadu’s counsels urged the court to consider the fact that Ekweremadu’s detention by the UK Government was totally against his wish, desire, and control.
