Mbah Seeks Ekweremadu’s Transfer to Nigeria to Serve Prison Sentence
Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah says his government is engaging Nigerian authorities about arrangements that could allow former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu to serve the remainder of his UK prison sentence in Nigeria. He discussed the effort in an interview with BBC Igbo and said the state remained in contact with Ekweremadu. Ekweremadu was convicted in the UK of conspiring to facilitate a young man’s travel to Britain for the purpose of harvesting his kidney for Ekweremadu’s daughter, Sonia. Mbah described the case as a tragedy and expressed sympathy for the family, saying parents facing a child’s serious health crisis could understand the desperation to save their child.
