JUST IN: Ekweremadu’s Wife Returns to Nigeria

Beatrice, the wife of former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, has returned to Nigeria following her ordeal in the United Kingdom.
Mrs. Ekweremadu was sentenced to prison alongside her husband and a medical doctor under highly controversial circumstances involving an organ donor for their daughter Sonia, who suffers from kidney issues.
While Ekweremadu received a sentence of 9 years and 8 months from Justice Jeremy Johnson at the Old Bailey, his wife was handed a 4-year and 6-month term, while their intermediary, Dr. Obinna Obeta, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The Ekweremadus and Obeta were convicted of conspiracy to arrange for a young man, identified as David Nwamini, to travel to Britain, where he was to be exploited for his kidney, needed for their ailing daughter, Sonia.
After a six-week trial and conviction at London’s Central Criminal Court, the Ekweremadus and their doctor were found guilty of violating the Modern Slavery Act on May 5, 2023.
However, a family source speaking to TrackNews Online confirmed that Mrs. Ekweremadu arrived in Abuja on Tuesday evening.
