A Nigerian politician and a woman have been charged with trying to bring a child to the UK to harvest their organs.

Ike Ekweremadu, 60, a district senator, and Beatrice Nwanneka Ekweremadu, 55, are in custody and are due to appear in court today.
The pair were both charged with conspiracy to arrange or facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting.
...
The child is safe and being looked after, Met Police confirmed.

Both Beatrice and Ike - a lawyer - have been remanded in custody.

The pair will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court later on Thursday.

The investigation was launched after detectives were alerted to potential offences under modern slavery legislation in May 2022, the force said.

Cops have not revealed whether the child is a boy or girl, how old they are or where they are from.

Ekweremadu has been in the UK for at least the past fortnight having met with members of the Nigerian community in Britain in Lincoln around ten days ago.

He tweeted: "It was a pleasure and an honour to receive a letter of appointment by the University of Lincoln, UK, as visiting professor of corporate and international linkages.

Their bodies are "mutilated" and "roasted like suya [shish kebabs]", he added. Mr Fani-Kayode said victims were "roasted alive".

"They sell them into slavery and either murder, mutilate, torture or work them to death," he added.

Disturbing video shows the moments a Veterans Affairs employee pushed an elderly Vietnam veteran into a door and body-slammed him to the ground.

Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Justin Gray first reported on the attack in May. Phillip Webb, 73, said he was attacked at the Department of Veterans Affairs Clinic at Fort McPherson in Atlanta on April 28.
...
Gray had to file a Freedom of Information Act request and wait more than a month and a half to get the surveillance video, which shows a VA patient advocate viciously hit and kick Webb.

VA employee Lawrence F. Gaillard Jr. was arrested and charged with a brutal beating.

On Monday, Gray showed Webb the video of the moment he was assaulted.

Webb said he doesn’t remember much about the attack.

In the video, the two men appear to have a brief argument and Gaillard puts his finger up to Webb’s face. When Webb tries to push it away, Gaillard charges, shoving him against the wall, choking him with both hands around his neck, then body-slamming the elderly veteran to the ground, where he stomps on his head. He then kicks Webb in the head a second time.
