BREAKING: UK Court Finally Sentences Ekweremadu, Wife, Middleman To 26 Years In Prison

The Old Bailey Court in London, on Friday afternoon, sentenced a former Deputy Senate President of Nigeria, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife Beatrice and a middleman, Dr. Obinna Obeta, to 26 years imprisonment over organ harvesting charge.

Ekweremadu is to serve about ten years in prison, his wife is to serve six years and Dr. Obeta will serve 10 years in prison.

Eagle’s Sight News recalls the trio of Ekweremadu, Beatrice and Obeta were convicted of conspiracy to arrange the travel of a young Nigerian man who was identified as David Nwamini to Britain in order to exploit him for his kidney.

The organ was needed for Ekweremadu’s sick daughter, Sonia.

Their trial lasted for six weeks and conviction at the Old Bailey, London’s Central Criminal Court, is expected today.

The Prosecutor, Hugh Davies told the jury that the behaviour of Ekweremadu showed “entitlement, dishonesty and hypocrisy”.
