On the occasion of the new British monarch coronation ceremony slated for tomorrow (Saturday), King Charles III may pardon embattled former deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, a legal practitioner Kayode Ajulo, has said.

Ajulo stated this in an interview on Channels Television on Friday.

He said, “There must be a way out’ King Charles’ coronation is an opportunity for a pardon request.

There is a thin line between organ harvesting and donation. The UK Modern Slavery Act rarely weighs the intent of the action,” he added.

Recall that a UK court, on Friday, sentenced Ekweremadu to nine years and eight months in jail for plotting to harvest a man’s kidney for his sick daughter.

Ekweremadu’s wife Beatrice was handed four years, six months sentence while Obinna Obeta, a medical doctor got a 10 years’ sentence for the same offence.

The trio of Ekweremadu, Beatrice and Obeta were convicted of conspiracy to arrange the travel of a young Nigerian man who was identified as David Nwamini to Britain in order to exploit him for his kidney.

The organ was needed for Ekweremadu’s sick daughter, Sonia.

Their trial lasted for six weeks and conviction at the Old Bailey, London’s Central Criminal Court, is expected today.

The Prosecutor, Hugh Davies told the jury that the behaviour of Ekweremadu showed “entitlement, dishonesty and hypocrisy.”

Does he have such power? his powers are ceremonial, Only the prime minister is vested with legal powers.

I don't think king Charles will even get involved in such thing because of his image

Amen o.

Olegbeju, how are you doing?

-You Nigerian people need to check that "lawyer"s drug supplier. He must have corrupted his supplies or Tinubu boys have flooded the streets with white substances.

Na there the matter don reach?

This one is totally ignorant on how the UK works. The King has NO such power. He's role is purley cerimonial. There no concept as 'Pardon' in the UK, only parole. With good behaviour Ike can be released after half his sentence has been served

Not so quick. Let him serve first.

-Meanwhile, this case as the first of Theresa May's signature law - The Modern Slavery Act 2015 - will be studied in British law schools and cited in both academic and business sectors for many years.

-Congratulations to the Ekweremadu family. You have entered British law history books forever.

He deserves it

Don't mind them, they think this is Nigeria where people abuse power. King Charles knows his approval ratings will drop drastically the moment he does that at a time most commonwealth countries are planning on dumping the British monarchy to become full Republic. smh

Yeye.. make he better call excon Peter Gregory Obi for tips and tricks on how to survive in UK prison.

This one must be a quack lawyer,aside from being poorly informed.
He doesn't even understand how serious the offence was and that neither King Charles nor the pm would go 100km near that case or they put the monarchy in serious jeopardy.
