A London Court on Monday has granted Beatrice, wife of a former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, bail. However, the same court denied the embattled former lawmaker bail.

According to the Common Serjeant of London, Judge Richard Marks: “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 Ike Ekweremadu and his wife were arrested and detained by the Metropolitan Police, London, over alleged conspiracy on organ harvesting of one David Ukpo Nwamini.

The Ekweremadus were accused of conspiring to traffic a homeless man into the UK to harvest his kidney for their daughter.

According to the UK-based Daily Mail, Beatrice was charged with arranging or facilitating the travel of another person with a view to exploitation, between August 1 last year and May 5, under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

While the husband, Ike Ekweremadu, was charged with conspiracy to arrange or facilitate the travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting.
