It is a sad day for the Ekweremadu Family. And Nigeria.
Their Patriach, former Senate President, Dr Ike Ekweremadu, and his wife, Dr Beatrice Ekweremadu, were on Friday, 5th May, 2023, sentenced to jail terms of 10 and six years respectively by a London Court.
A London-based Nigerian doctor who was arrested with them, Dr Obinna Obeta, also, got a 10-year jail term.
The Ekweremadus were arrested at the Heathrow Airport, London in June 2022 for trafficking a 21-year old Lagos Street trader to London for the purpose of harvesting his kidney to transplant on their 25 year old daughter, Sonia, who is suffering from a severe kidney disease.
Details, later….
