“Celebrations in Enugu as Ekweremadu’s Wife Returns from UK”
Beatrice, the spouse of Ike Ekweremadu, the former deputy president of the Senate, has been released from prison in the UK and has come back to Nigeria.
A family member informed the BBC on Wednesday that Beatrice had returned to Nigeria three months ago.

However, it has been reported that there is currently a celebration taking place at her family residence in the Mpu community of Aninri Local Government Area in Enugu State.
Community members also offered prayers for Senator Ekweremadu’s return, stating that the absence of the couple had greatly affected the community.
In a video shared by Intel Region, market women were seen joyfully singing in response to the news of Beatrice’s release.
Chief Alex Ogbonnia, who recently served as the National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, also expressed happiness regarding Beatrice Ekweremadu’s return to Nigeria.
Ogbonnia commended Senator Ike Ekweremadu, referring to him as a nation builder who made significant contributions to the development of Enugu West and the state of Enugu during his time in the Senate.
“I want to thank God for His grace upon Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife. Jubilation is widespread across Enugu State because they utilized their positions to make a difference in people’s lives, showcasing their inherent qualities,” Ogbonnia remarked.
He added: “The husband, in particular, represented the people of Enugu West in an immeasurable way and positively impacted the state of Enugu overall. We pray that soon he will return to Nigeria to continue his commendable work.”

Background
In March 2023, Ekweremadu, Beatrice, and Obinna Obeya, a medical practitioner, were found guilty of conspiring to traffic a young man for organ harvesting under the UK’s Modern Slavery Act of 2015.
This case represented the first conviction of this nature under the law.
On May 5, 2023, Ekweremadu received a sentence of nine years and eight months in prison, while his wife was sentenced to four years and six months, and Obeta was given a ten-year prison term.
In his ruling, Judge Jeremy Johnson decided that Beatrice would serve half of her sentence in custody, with the remainder on probation.
Johnson also specified that the period Beatrice spent under electronically monitored curfew and her time in remand should count towards her time served in prison.
