Mrs. Beatrice Ekweremadu, wife of former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has returned to Nigeria after serving part of her sentence in the United Kingdom.
Truth Live News learnt from Vanguard that Beatrice arrived in Nigeria on Wednesday. This marks her first return since the UK court’s sentencing in a high-profile case that shook Nigeria.
Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Mrs. Ekweremadu, and their associate, Dr. Obinna Obeta, were convicted earlier in 2023 on charges related to organ harvesting. The former Deputy Senate President received a 10-year prison sentence, while Mrs. Ekweremadu was sentenced to six years.
The case, involving alleged exploitation for organ donation, garnered international attention, prompting discussions on human trafficking and abuse of power.
