A Nigerian doctor has admitted in court that he lied about a potential kidney donor because he was “desperate” for his own operation to go ahead.
Dr Obinna Obeta, 51, is accused of being part of an international criminal conspiracy in a organ transplant trafficking plot.
The Old Bailey heard how Dr Obeta had travelled with a donor from Nigeria in 2021 who he incorrectly said was his cousin.
He denies breaking modern slavery laws.
