Wife of Ex-Deputy Senate President, Beatrice Ekweremadu, Released from UK Prison
Beatrice Ekweremadu, wife of former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has been released from a United Kingdom prison and has returned to Nigeria.
Mrs. Ekweremadu, who was sentenced to five years in prison by a UK court, was convicted alongside her husband, Senator Ekweremadu, and a medical doctor, Dr. Obinna Obeta, on charges related to organ harvesting.
The landmark case drew significant international attention.
A reliable source, confirmed that Mrs. Ekweremadu arrived in Nigeria on Tuesday and is currently in Abuja.
The Ekweremadus were arrested in June 2022 after a young Nigerian, David Nwamini, alleged he was coerced into donating his kidney to their ailing daughter.
The case culminated in a UK court sentencing Senator Ekweremadu to nine years and eight months in prison, while Dr. Obeta received a 10-year sentence.
