The Association of Izhi Media Workers has described as egregious the trafficking of an Izhi son, Master David Ukpo Nwamini by former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu for organ harvesting in the United Kingdom.

Former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and Master David Ukpo Nwamini.
The Association made the condemnation in a statement by the Public Relations Officer Comrade Boniface Nwankwo which was made available to newsmen in Abakaliki on Saturday.
The statement which described the wanton machination of using the kidney of an Izhi boy to save the life of the daughter of the former DSP in a very pretentious manner and at the detriment of the former as an act of inhumanity urged the London Police to disregard every distraction and bring the perpetrators to book.
"It has come to our knowledge that the 15-year-old boy David Nwamini Ukpo trafficked by Ike Ekweremadu for organ harvesting in the United Kingdom is an underage Izhi citizen.
"The attempt to obtain his kidney by pretense to save the life of the daughter of the former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu is a typical show of man's inhumanity to man and therefore portrays the Lawmaker as someone who can take the life of the poor to save that of his daughter, what a sacrilegious way of being an elder statesman."
The Association of Izhi Media Workers urged the good people of the Izhi clan and Ebonyi State, in general, to remain calm while the London Police and the Court dispense justice on the matter.
"We, therefore, urge the proactive London Police not to compromise to fraudulent overtures but insist on ensuring that all concerned are disciplined according to the Law as the World is watching keenly to know how it would handle this issue bothering on the life of the poor and less privileged."
