A Federal High court sitting in Abuja has been asked by David Ukpo, a victim of the alleged organ harvesting scandal involving Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, to halt the release of his biographical information to the London court in Ekweremadu’s trial.
He complained that neither he nor the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, who serves as the Federation’s Chief Law Officer, was added as a defendant to the lawsuit.
Ukpo requested that Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo revoke the ruling allowing the release of his biodata to Ekweremadu and his wife for their defense before Uxbridge Magistrate Court in London in a move on notice on the court board.
National Identity Management Commission, Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service, Stanbic IBTC Bank, United Bank for Africa, and Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System are the defendants in the motion over the alleged violation of fundamental rights.
The applicant is asking the court to order the defendants’ agents, privies, staff, and employees to refrain from giving any information on him to Ekweremadu and his wife to aid in their defense in the London court.
