Former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu was sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison by a UK court for conspiring to harvest a man’s kidney for his ailing daughter.
Meanwhile, Ike’s wife, Beatrice, was sentenced to four years and six months in prison, while Obinna Obeta, a medical practitioner, was sentenced to ten years in prison for the same conduct.
Remember how Ike, Beatrice, and Obeta were found guilty of conspiring to organise the passage of a young Nigerian man named David Nwamini to Britain in order to exploit him for his kidney?
Sonia, Ekweremadu’s ailing daughter, need the organ.
Their trial lasted six weeks, and they are anticipated to be convicted today at the Old Bailey, London’s Central Criminal Court.
According to the Vanguard newspaper, the prosecutor, Hugh Davies, told the jury that Ekweremadu’s attitude demonstrated “entitlement, dishonesty, and hypocrisy.”
