Ekweremadu’s Wife Returns Home After Serving Prison Sentence

THE wife of former Nigerian Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu has returned to Nigeria after her  release from a prison in United Kingdom.

 Beagle News reports that a reliable source confirmed her return on Tuesday, marking the end of her six-year prison sentence for her involvement in a puzzling organ harvesting case.

 It could be recalled that Beatrice Ekweremadu, her husband Senator Ike Ekweremadu, and medical doctor Obinna Obeta were convicted in the United Kingdom last year for conspiring to exploit a young Nigerian boy for organ harvesting. 

The boy, who had been hawking in Lagos, was flown to the UK under the plan to donate an organ for Sonia Ekweremadu, daughter of the former deputy senate president who had been diagnosed with a kidney related ailment.

Following the trial, Ike Ekweremadu was sentenced to 10 years in prison, while Beatrice received a six-year sentence despite citing health concerns during proceedings.

Her return has reportedly sparked celebrations across Enugu State, where supporters and well-wishers were hopeful for the eventual release of her husband. Many have expressed solidarity with the Ekweremadu family, offering prayers for his return in the shortest possible time.
