Organ Trafficking: Senate joins Reps to seek clemency for Ekweremadu and wife, Beatrice
The Senate has joined the House of Representatives to appeal to the UK government to temper justice with mercy in sentencing Senator Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, Mrs. Beatrice Ekweremadu, who were found guilty of organ harveting.
The Senate’s decision to appeal for clemency followed a motion raised by Senator Chukwuka Utazi during a plenary session on May 3.
This is coming after both the House of Representatives and the ECOWAS Parliament on Tuesday appealed to the UK government to temper justice with mercy in the motion.
The Senate is not happy with the conviction of the Ekweremadus’ and ignorance of the law is not an excuse, but they were faced with these circumstances in a bid to save their dying daughter Sonia.
The Senate is joining in the plea by asking for Clemency in the coming sentencing 2 days away. That Clemency may be extended to the Ekweremadus’ considering that all of the convicts are first offenders.”
