The wife of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, Beatrice Ekweremadu, has denied being involved in the effort to find an organ donor for their sick daughter Sonia.
Beatrice and her husband were both detained in the UK last year for allegedly smuggling a young guy into the nation for the purpose of removing his kidneys.
On Monday at the Old Bailey in London, where she is on trial with her husband, daughter, and one doctor, Obinna Obeta, she refuted the accusation.
It is said that the young guy misrepresented himself as Sonia’s cousin in an unsuccessful attempt to convince medical professionals to perform a $80,000 private surgery at the Royal Free Hospital.
Regarding the family’s money, Beatrice testified before the court that her husband took care of the house, and that she solely performed domestic responsibilities, such as paying visits to their kids’ schools in the UK every few weeks.
Her husband described how they came to learn that their daughter Sonia had kidney issues when she became ill in 2919 and received a diagnosis there.
Jurors were informed that Sonia traveled back to London to visit doctors at the Cromwell Hospital and the Royal Free.
