Matthew Page Alleges That He Alerted The Uk To Ike Ekweremadu's Activities

Matthew Page and Ike Ekweremadu 

Former U.S. intelligence analyst Matthew Page alleges that he alerted the UK to Ike Ekweremadu's activities and claims that Ekweremadu "had an international property portfolio worth more than £6 million."

Before Ike Ekweremadu's organization trafficking case, Matthew Page, a Nigeria specialist in the US State Department's bureau of intelligence and research, had alerted the UK's national crime agency (NCA) on the former senate president's activities.

Before Ekweremadu was imprisoned for bringing a guy to London in order to try and get his kidney, the associate fellow at Chatham House allegedly notified the UK authorities to look into his extramarital activities.

It should be remembered that on May 5, Ekweremadu received a nine-year prison term for the same offense, while his wife, Beatrice, received a four-year prison term. The pair was detained by the London Metropolitan Police in June 2022 after they tried to persuade medical staff at the Royal Free hospital to perform an £80,000 transplant on a donor who was said to be their daughter Sonia's cousin.

However, Page claimed in the study that if the authorities had responded quickly to his concerns concerning Ekweremadu, the UK might not have experienced the unprecedented occurrence of organ trafficking. In collaboration with the UK's department for international development, Page looked at how Nigerian officials, notably Ekweremadu, utilized mysterious money to purchase properties in the UK that cost millions of pounds.

He also looked into how these politicians paid for their children's expensive private education using money they had saved up over the years. According to the study, "he discovered that over the course of a 12-year period, Ekweremadu would have earned approximately £339,000 as a political office holder, including his stint as deputy president of the Nigerian senate."

"But in that period he bought three properties - two in London and one in Cambridge-worth £4.2m. The Old Bailey heard that Ekweremadu had an international property portfolio worth more than £6m. Page supplied the NCA with a dossier of information about how Ekweremadu had used unexplained wealth to fund his UK activities.
