Beatrice Ekweremadu, wife of former Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Ike Ekweremadu has been granted bail by a London court.
Recall that Ike Ekweremadu and his wife were arrested by the Metropolitan Police, London, over an alleged conspiracy to harvest the organ of one David Ukpo Nwamini. Although Nwamini initially claimed to be 15 years of age, it has since been confirmed that he is actually over 18 years.
The London court granted Beatrice Ekweremadu bail on Monday while denying Ike Ekweremadu bail.
“The position is that I have granted bail to Beatrice subject to some fairly stringent conditions but I have refused bail to Ike,’ the Common Serjeant of London, Judge Richard Marks was quoted to have said.
