Kindly share:
Beatrice, the wife of former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has reportedly completed her jail term in the United Kingdom.
It was gathered that she returned to the country on Tuesday.
It will be recalled that Senator Ekweremadu, his wife and one Dr Obinna Obeta were jailed, following their conviction for their involvement in organ harvesting in the UK.
While Ekweremadu was slammed with a nine years and eight months imprisonment, his wife got four years and six months while Obeta was handed a 10-year sentence in jail.
They were tried and convicted by UK’s Central Criminal Court, known as the Old Bailey, in the first conviction of its kind under Britain’s modern slavery laws.
The trio was accused of conspiring to harvest the kidney of 21-year-old David Nwamini for Ekweremadu’s sick daughter, Sonia, who was suffering from deteriorating kidneys and needed regular dialysis.
With Beatrice’s return, hope has been rekindled in the former deputy Senate president’s homme state, Enugu, that he would also return to the country soon.
