Senator Ike Ekweremadu's daughter's organ donor is 21, not 15; according to Nigeria's Immigration Service.
The Comptroller-General of the NIS, Isa Jere told editors over the weekend that the donor's date of birth is 12 October 2000 as captured by the Service after thorough verification.
The young man is currently in the UK "under the care of safeguarding authorities" after the police arrested and arraigned Senator Ekweremadu and his wife for trafficking a minor in order to harvest his organ.
The UK authorities believe him to be 15.
