The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday disclosed that it would send a high-powered delegation to meet with Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice in London following the alleged purported Organ harvest against them.
JomogNews recalls that Ike Ekweremadu, who was the former Deputy Senate President, was detained alongside his wife over alleged “organ harvesting” in the United Kingdom.
The Senate’s decision was after they met behind closed doors for two hours on Wednesday.
The Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan commended defence lawyers to Senator Ekweremadu and his wife, who he said were working hard to get them out of detention.
He disclosed that he met with the British High Commissioner who briefed him on progress of the case as well as details of what transpired
Lawan added that the Senate delegation would include the members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Lawan also noted that the Senate will continue to engage the Nigeria High Commission on the matter relating to Ekweremadu.
He said that he had a robust engagement with the Nigeria High Commissioner, Ambassador Ishola Sarafa on the alleged Organ harvesting, adding that as Senators, they will continue to support their colleague.
Resolutions of the Senate came on the heels of a motion about the arrest of the former Deputy Senate President and his wife in London last week over charges of conspiracy and organ harvest.
