A source has revealled that former deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, is getting along well with life in a London prison.
Politics Nigeria recalls that the Ekweremadus had arranged through Obeta for a young Nigerian to arrive in London for purposes of donating one of his kidneys for their daughter.
Ekweremadu was found guilty under the Modern Slavery Act with his wife and physician, Dr. Obinna Obeta, by an Old Bailey jury in March.
He was subsequently sentenced to over five years in jail in May for organ trafficking.
Not much has been heard about the lawyer and former lawmaker since the court judgement.
But in a chat with Guardian, an official of the Nigerian High Commission disclosed that Ekweremadu was doing well.
“He [Ekweremadu] is fine, he’s fine,” the source said.
Asked if the wife too was getting on with life as an inmate, he said: “That l don’t.”
