Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, has explained why the federal government of Nigeria cannot intervene in the case of alleged organ harvesting involving Ike Ekweremadu, former Deputy President of the Senate.
Daily Dates Nigeria had reported that the couple was arrested by the London Metropolitan Police in June and appeared before a magistrate court in July.
However, his wife was granted bail on July 22, while the lawmaker’s application was denied.
At a ministerial briefing on Thursday, Malami said it is not the practice of the government to intervene in judicial matters, whether local or international.
The AGF said, “It has never been the tradition of the Nigerian government to interfere in anything judicial, local or international. And that stands the position of the government.
