Mrs. Beatrice Ekweremadu, the wife of former Deputy Senate President Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has been released from a UK prison.
According to reports, she arrived in the country on Tuesday and is currently in Abuja.
Recall that Beatrice was sentenced to six years in prison by a UK court for her involvement in organ harvesting, along with her husband and Dr. Obinna Obeta.
The court found them guilty of attempting to buy a kidney from a young Nigerian boy to donate to their daughter Sophia.
Senator Ekweremadu received a 10-year prison sentence, while Dr. Obeta’s sentence was not specified.
The case marked the first conviction under the UK’s Modern Slavery Act 2015.
