Despite the decision not to go ahead with the transplant, the alleged victim gave evidence that he had later been examined by two other unidentified doctors at the home of Dr Obeta who he also accused of making him work as a " houseboy" and not paying him, jurors were told.
He then ran away from The House , sleeping rough and walking for Two Days through London, The Court heard.
