Organ Harvesting Scandal: UK court grants Ekweramadu's wife, Beatrice, bail

Beatrice, the wife of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, has been granted bail by a London court.

On Monday, she received a bail order. On the other hand, bail was declined for Ike Ekweremadu.

Judge Richard Marks, the Common Serjeant of London, stated: “The position is that I have granted bail to Beatrice subject to some fairly stringent conditions but I have refused bail to Ike.

Recall that the Metropolitan Police in London detained Ike Ekweremadu and his wife in connection with an alleged scheme to harvest David Ukpo Nwamini's organs.

Ekweremadus were charged with planning to smuggle a homeless man into the UK so they could take his kidney for their daughter.

The Beatrice was accused of organizing or supporting another person's travel with the intent to exploit between August 1 of last year and May 5, according to the UK's Daily Mail.

Ike Ekweremadu, the husband, was accused of conspiring to set up or aid another person's travel with a view to exploitation, specifically organ harvesting.
