Mrs Beatrice Ekweremadu, wife of the former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu is back in Nigeria.

According to reports, Mrs. Ekweremadu returned to the country on Tuesday.

Recall that Senator Ike Ekweremadu, his wife Beatrice and Dr. Obinna Obeta were sentenced at the UK’s Central Criminal Court, known as the Old Bailey, to nine years and eight months, four years and six months, and 10 years in prison respectively for conspiring to transport a street trader to the U.K. as part of an organ-harvesting plot.

The three were found guilty of trafficking a 21-year-old street trader to the UK to provide a kidney for the Ekweremadus’ daughter Sonia, who according to the CPS statement suffers from deteriorating kidneys and needs regular dialysis.

Prosecutors said the victim was brought to the UK after being offered a reward of up to £7,000 ($8,810) and the promise of work in the country, but was unaware that he was expected to provide a kidney in return.

Meanwhile, the return of Mrs Ekweremadu is being celebrated across Enugu State, with many praying to have the former deputy president of the senate back in the shortest possible time.
