Peter Obi faces severe backlash following comments on Ekweremadu's trafficking case

Presidential aspirant, Peter Obi, triggers mixed reactions following comments on the human trafficking charge slammed against Ike Ekweremadu.

This comes hours after the former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, alongside his wife, Beatrice Nwanneka Ekweremadu, were arrested in the UK over an alleged organ harvest.

Taking to the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, Peter Obi offered prayers to their daughter who is in a delicate health condition.

"My family and I are with the Ekweremadu's over their travail. We join all men of goodwill in praying for the healing of their daughter and commit them into God's hand for justice to be done. -PO," he wrote.
