David Ukpo, “victim” of the alleged organ harvesting case of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, has urged a Federal High Court in Abuja to annul its July 1 order for the release of his bio-data to the Ekweremadus.
Recall that the Ekweremadus had claimed that Ukpo agreed to donate his kidney to their ailing daughter.
In a new motion filed by his lawyer, Bamidele Igbinedion, Ukpo questioned the competence of the proceedings that led to the issuance of the July 1, 2022 order by Justice Inyang Ekwo.
He alleged that his fundamental rights to a fair hearing and personal privacy had been grossly violated by the proceedings, without his involvement.
Ukpo wondered why neither himself nor the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), the nation’s Chief Law Officer, was made a party in the suit.
He sought to reverse the order permitting the release of his bio-data to the Ekweremadus for their defense before Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court in London.
Ukpo also prayed the court to restrain the defendants, their agents, privies, staff members, and other workers from releasing any information about him to the Ekweremadus for their defense in the London court.
Justice Ekwo adjourned till September 13 for the hearing of Ukpo’s motion.
