Malami said, “The Nigerian government has never had a history of meddling in court matters, whether they be national or international. And the government continues to hold that view.
“Regarding Senator Ekweremadu’s involvement, I have said during my presentation that there has been cooperation and a request for mutual legal help between Nigeria and other nations across the world. If the senator requests something like that, we will deal with it,” he added.
The UK Metropolitan Police accused Ekweremadu of conspiring to make it easier for someone else to travel for organ harvesting.
