Catholic priest, Rev Fr Kelvin Ugwu has reacted to the arrest of and detainment of former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice in the United Kingdom.
The couple were arrested by the UK authority for allegedly facilitating the travel of a 15-year-old boy for organ harvesting.
Concerned Nigerians, who were shocked upon hearing the report on Thursday, have continued to react to the unfortunate development.
Fr Kelvin in a recent post on his verified Facebook page said poverty could have triggered the family of the little boy to allow him to agree to donate his organ.
The popular priest also revealed that some rich men harvest the blood of newly born children and young people to prolong their lives.
He wrote, “Do you know that there are rich people who harvest the blood of newly born children and young people for transfusion so that they can prolong their lives because medically it has proven to be effective?
“Do you know some creams and body lotions are made from aborted fetuses because it has proven to revive aging skin and make them look younger?
“In any way you may want to look at the Ike Ekweremadu’s case while waiting for the full story to unfold, ask yourself, if not poverty how is it possible that the parent of a 15-year-old or the 15-year-old himself will consent to donate his organ to Ekweremadu?
“What most rich people do, how they trample on the poor and use them as they so wish without any qualm of conscience, if I talk about it, you will weep”.
