Meanwhile, the police said the child involved in the matter “has been safeguarded and we are working closely with partners on continued support.”

According to a letter applying for UK visa, Ekweremadu had written to the UK embassy, requesting for visa for the child.

The child was said to have applied for a visa for medical investigation as a kidney donor for Senator Ekweremadu’s daughter.
