Following the arrest of Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the former vice president of the Senate, and his wife Beatrice in connection with the suspected supposed organ harvest against the Ekweremadus, the Senate announced that a high-powered delegation would travel to the United Kingdom.

The delegation of the Upper Chamber will be made up of members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, led by Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa of Bauchi North, according to Senator Ahmad Lawan, who was speaking on Wednesday shortly after a closed-door session of the Senate. He instructed the members to get briefings on the situation from the Nigeria High Commission in London.

Lawan who noted that the Senate will continue to engage the Nigeria High Commission on the matter relating to Ekweremadu, said that he had a robust engagement with the Nigeria High Commissioner, Ambassador Ishola Sarafa on the alleged Organ harvesting, adding that as Senators, they will continue to support their colleague.

Resolutions of the Senate came on the heels of a motion about the arrest of the former Deputy Senate President and his wife in London last week over charges of conspiracy and organ harvest.
