Ike Ekweremadu, a former Deputy Senate President of the Nigerian Senate, will remain in prison custody till October 31st as the organ harvesting case proffered against him has been adjourned.
It will be recalled that the Nigerian senator first appeared before the Uxbridge magistrates’ court in London, where the lawmaker denied all the charges against him.
Both Ekweremadu and his wife were denied bail and remanded in custody while the case was adjourned to July 7 and now August 4, 2022.
However, on July 2nd, his wife, Beatrice was granted bail under strict conditions.
The Nigerian senate ably represented by Adamu Bulkachuwa, senate committee chairman on foreign affairs, was in court to show support for Ekweremadu.
Only 20 people were allowed into the court premises to witness proceedings and any and all recording devices were barred.
