BREAKING: Alleged Organ Harvesting Victim, David Ukpo Begs Court Not To Release His Biodata to Ekweremadu

 

The alleged victim of organ harvesting, David Ukpo has asked a Federal High Court in Abuja not to release his biodato to embattled ex-Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.

 

This is as the court had in July 1 ordered the release of his bio-data for use in a London court in Ekweremadu’s trial.

 

Ukpo, while faulting proceedings of the court that led to the issuance of the order, claimed that his fundamental rights to a fair hearing and personal privacy had been grossly breached.

 

His grouse was that neither he nor the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, as Chief Law Officer of the Federation, was made a party in the suit.

 

In a motion on notice he just filed through his lawyer, Mr Bamidele Igbinedion, Ukpo prayed Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo to reverse the order permitting the release of his bio-data to Ekweremadu and his wife for their defense before Uxbridge Magistrate Court in London.

 

Defendants in the motion bothering on the alleged breach of fundamental rights are National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service, Stanbic IBTC Bank, United Bank for Africa, UBA, and Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System.

 

The applicant is praying the court to restrain the defendants, their agents, privies, staff, and workers from releasing any information concerning him to Ekweremadu and his wife for their defense in the London court.
