Ohanaeze hosts British envoy, seeks reduced jail term for Ekweremadu
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has begged the British government to have clemency on the jailed former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, alongside a medical doctor,Obinna Obeta, were in May jailed by the UK over an organ trafficking plot.
The UK court sentenced Ekweremadu to nine years and eight months in prison; Beatrice bagged four years and six months while the doctor was jailed for 10 years.
But on Tuesday, while receiving the British Higher Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr Richard Montgomery, at its National Secretariat in Enugu, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo pleaded with the UK government to have mercy of Ekweremadu.
