Clarifications are emerging regarding the real age of David Ukpo Nwanmini, the boy that was taken to the United Kingdom by former deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice.
Recall that Ekweremadu and his wife were arrested in the United Kingdom on Thursday, June 23, by the Metropolitan Police for allegedly trying to harvest the organs of a 15-year-old boy for their sick daughter. They were subsequently charged to court.
Speaking on the true age of David, Jonathan Ukpo Nwanmini, his younger brother said that he is 25 years old. This is despite the fact that David’s passport shared online revealed his age as 22.
According to him, David told him he’s traveling abroad to school.
He said;
”David is my elder brother because we are both of the same father with different mothers and we hail from Ebonyi State. I will be 22 years old by next month and David is 25 years old. I am aware that he travelled because he told me. He did not disclose the country he was travelling to. He simply told me he was going to school abroad.
“After some months of not hearing from him, I got his number from his girlfriend and called him. I asked about his studies and work.
“He said it was fine but that he was not working yet as he needed to go to school first before he could be given a working paper. I told him about our dad who was not feeling fine.
“This was the conversation we had this month since January when he travelled. He was staying with us here in Ikotun before he left. We both sell phone accessories. We spoke last week. We even spoke again this week.”
Another businessman in Ikotun who pleaded anonymity also told Sunday Vanguard that;
“David left Nigeria in January. He told us that someone promised to sponsor his education in the UK. He never mentioned the name of the person, but from what I have read online, it might be that the person was an intermediary between David and the former Deputy Speaker.”
