  A UK court on Friday jailed Nigeria’s former deputy Senate president for nine years and eight months, following his landmark conviction for plotting to harvest a man’s kidney for his sick daughter. In the first UK case of its kind, judge Jeremy Johnson handed Ike Ekweremadu, 60, the prison sentence for his part in a “despicable trade” that took advantage of the “poverty, misery and desperation” of vulnerable people. “People-trafficking across international borders for the harvesting of human organs is a form of slavery,” the judge at London’s Old Bailey criminal court said as he handed down the jail term. “It treats human beings and their body parts as commodities to be bought and sold,” he added, noting the sentence represented a “substantial fall from grace” for Ekweremadu.
