Beatrice Ekweremadu, wife of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, has been released from prison in the United Kingdom and is now back in Nigeria. Sources confirm she arrived on Tuesday, sparking celebration across Enugu State and beyond, with many hopeful her husband will soon follow.
Ike and Beatrice Ekweremadu, alongside Dr. Obinna Obeta, had been sentenced by a UK court over charges related to organ harvesting. While the former Deputy Senate President received a 10-year sentence, his wife was handed a 6-year term. Her unexpected release marks the first major development in the high-profile case since the couple’s sentencing.
Residents in Enugu and supporters nationwide have welcomed Beatrice’s return, offering prayers and goodwill for her husband’s eventual freedom. The family has not issued an official statement on the circumstances surrounding her early release, leaving observers eager for further updates.
