OduNews reports that Ekweremadu and his wife were arrested by The Metropolitan Police at the Heathrow Airport, London for alleged human trafficking and organ harvesting.

Fani-Kayode said Buhari should not be silent amid the controversy surrounding Ekweremadu and his family.

In a tweet, the former minister said the president should stand for the Ekweremadus.

β€œI call on @MBuhari to stand for Ekweremadu & not remain silent in the face of what is emerging as a criminal conspiracy & grave injustice hatched against a man whose only crime is to love & want the best for his ailing daughter”- Fani-Kayode tweeted.

The ex-deputy senate president and his wife were arraigned on Thursday at Uxbridge Magistrates Court.

But, they were denied bail and were remanded in custody till July 7.
