Beatrice, the wife of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, was granted bail on stricgent conditions by a London court a month after the UK police held her on charges of human trafficking and organ harvesting.
KEMI FILANI NEWS recalls that Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, were arrested and subsequent arraignment in London for alleged conspiracy to harvest the kidney of 15 years old Ukpo Nwamini David.
The Ekweremadus have remained behind bars since then and were not granted bail after appearing in court on July 7.
The Common Serjeant of London, Richard Marks, on Monday freed Mrs Ekweremadu on stringent terms but denied Mr Ekweremadu bail.
Marks, in his ruling said, “The position is that I have granted bail to Beatrice subject to some fairly stringent conditions but I have refused bail to Ike.”
Prosecutors are not appealing the decision, the court heard.
The court, however, did not immediately disclose the stringent terms set for Mrs Ekweremadu or when Mr Ekweremadu would be released before adjourning the matter till August 4.
