Senator Ike Ekweremadu has been banned by University of Lincoln, United Kingdom, after being appointed a visiting professor of Corporate and International Linkages.
This is coming after the Nigerian lawmaker and his wife, Beatrice were arrested by British police for allegedly conspiring to harvest the kidney of one Ukpo Nwamini David who claims to be 15-years-old.
It could be recalled that the former Deputy of Senate had after the university appointment two weeks ago, tweeted: “It was a pleasure and an honour to receive a letter of appointment by the University of Lincoln, UK, as Visiting Professor of Corporate and International Linkages.
“I also got a highly treasured gift – a copy of the Magna Carta. It was created in 1215, about 807 years ago.”

But reacting to the development after he was arrested and subsequent arraignment, the university’s spokesperson quoted by the London Mail on Friday said that Ekweremadu’s duties at the institution have been suspended for the time being.
The spokesperson said, Visiting professors are often, as is in this case, non-resident at the university, unpaid and advisory.
“We are deeply concerned about the nature of these allegations, but as this is an active police investigation, we cannot comment further at this stage.
“Whilst this matter is subject to investigation, this person will not be undertaking any duties as visiting professor at Lincoln.”
