In London's Old Bailey court later on Friday, a prominent Nigerian senator who was found guilty in March of smuggling a man to Britain so they could take one of his kidneys will be sentenced.

Ike Ekweremadu and his wife Beatrice planned to give the organ to their daughter who has a kidney disease.

The victim - a 21-year old street trader from Lagos - was offered $8,000 (£6,340) and promised a better life in Britain, but only realised what was going on when he met doctors in hospital.

The Ekweremadus, along with a medic who helped them, are the first people convicted of organ trafficking under Britain's modern slavery laws.

The maximum sentence they could face is life imprisonment.
