A Nigerian couple has been charged with conspiracy to harvest the organs of a child in the United Kingdom.
According to a Daily Mail report, the man and woman conspired to bring a child to the UK to harvest organs.
Beatrice Nwanneka Ekweremadu, 55, and Ike Ekweremadu, 60, from Nigeria, are charged with conspiracy to bring a child to the UK to harvest organs.
The charges involve arranging or facilitating the travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting, the Met said in a statement.
Both have been remanded in custody and will appear at Uxbridge magistrates court later on Thursday.
According to the Met, the child involved has been safeguarded.
The Met said it launched an investigation after detectives were alerted to potential offences under modern slavery legislation in May 2022.
