David Ukpo, the alleged victim of the organ harvesting allegation involving the former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, Tuesday, asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to set aside its July 1 order for the release of his biodata for use in a London Court in ongoing trial.
Ukpo, while faulting the proceedings of the court that led to the issuance of the order, claimed that his fundamental rights to a fair hearing and personal privacy had been grossly breached.
He argued that neither he nor the Attorney General of the Federation AGF, the country’s Chief Law Officer, was made a party in the suit.
In a motion on notice filed through his lawyer, Bamidele Igbinedion, Ukpo prayed Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo to reverse the order permitting the release of his biodata to Ekweremadu and his wife for their defense before Uxbridge Magistrate Court in London.
The defendants in the motion are National Identity Management Commission; Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service; Stanbic IBTC bank; United Bank for Africa, and Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System.
The applicant is praying the Court to restrain the defendants, their agents, privies, staff, and workers from releasing any information concerning him to Ekweremadu and his wife for their defense in the London Court.
The former Deputy President of the Senate was arrested on July 23 in London after they were accussed of organ harvesting of Ukpo, who was then described as minor.
The court, few day later granted bail to Ekweremadu's wife, but he lawmaker was denied bail.
He has since been in custody and will remain there till October 31 when the case has been adjourned for trial.
