COURT RULES THAT DAVID UKPO IS AN ADULT

The Westminster Magistrate Court in London, UK has ruled that Ukpo, who is in the middle of the organ harvesting trial of Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, is not a minor.

Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice were arrested by the British police on June 23 on allegations of human trafficking and organ harvesting that violate the country's Modern Slavery Act.
