Prosecutors said the defendants allegedly planned to have a kidney removed from a 21-year-old Nigerian man, so that it could be given to the politician’s daughter, Sonia. Charges were brought after the man went to the police in a town outside London, and the Ekweremadus were arrested in June last year at London’s Heathrow airport after flying into the UK.The trial is due to open at 1000 GMT on Tuesday. It was brought forward from a planned date in May.
