The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has insisted that the Nigerian government will not interfere in the legal battle involving a former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, who is facing trial in the United Kingdom UK for alleged organ harvesting.

Malami who disclosed this while speaking newsmen yesterday at the 46th Session of the State House Briefing at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, stated that it has never been the tradition of the Nigerian government to interfere in anything judicial, local, or international.

He disclosed that there has been in existence, a mutual legal assistance request and collaboration between Nigeria and other countries across the world and they would address it if there was such a request on the part of the senator.

Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, were charged by the UK Metropolitan Police with conspiracy to facilitate the travel of another person for organ harvesting.
