Igbo Indigenes Without Border, a socio-cultural organisation, has begged the President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu, to intervene in the case of the former Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Ike Ekweremadu.
The President of the group, Dr Bernard Oshi, made the appeal at a news conference Abuja.
Recall that Ekweremadu, and his wife, Beatrice, were convicted by the United Kingdom Central Criminal Court, London, for organ harvesting.
Oshi appealed to Tinubu and the incoming 10th National Assembly to look into the matter with a human face and prevail on the government of the United Kingdom to temper justice with mercy.
Similarly, he called on the members of the diplomatic corps, particularly those of the United Nations, the United Kingdom and the United States of America to come to the help of Ekweremadu.
Oshi, used the news conference to congratulate the President-elect, Tinubu, the Vice President-Elect, Sen Kashim Shettima, all members of the National Assembly, governors and state assembly members either reelected or newly elected.
He commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his leadership and commitment to keeping the country united, particularly through the past difficult years.
