David Ukpo, the victim of the alleged organ harvest, involving Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, on Tuesday, asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to set aside its July 1 order for the release of his bio-data for use in a London Court in Ekweremadu’s trial.
Ukpo while faulting proceedings of the court, which led to issuance of the order, claimed that his fundermental rights to fair hearing and personal privacy have been grossly breached.
His grouse was that neither the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), who is the Chief Law Officer of the Federation, nor he was made a party in the suit.
In a motion on notice he just filed through his lawyer, Mr Bamidele Igbinedion, Ukpo prayed Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo to reverse the order permitting the release of his bio-data to Ekweremadu and his wife for their defence before Uxbridge Magistrate Court in London.
Defendants in the motion bordering on alleged breach of fundermental rights are National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service, Stanbic IBTC bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA)) 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.
