Ekweremadu’s wife has been released from UK prison and has returned to Nigeria.
Glamtush reports that Mrs. Beatrice Ekweremadu, wife of former Deputy Senate President Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has been released from prison in the United Kingdom.
A source who craved anonymity told Punch Online that Beatrice, who was sentenced to five years in UK prison, returned to the country on Tuesday.
She is said to be currently in Abuja.
Our correspondent, however, gathered that jubilation is currently going on in her family’s house in the Mpu community of Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State, with many praying to have the Deputy Senate President back in the shortest possible time.
It will be recalled that Senator Ekweremadu, his wife, and Dr. Obinna Obeta were sentenced by a UK court over charges related to organ harvesting.
The former Deputy Senate President received a 10-year prison sentence, while Mrs. Ekweremadu was sentenced to five years.
