Nollywood actress, Georgina Onuoha has reacted to the sentencing of former deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife Beatrice and their doctor, Obinna Obeta.
Recall the trio got into trouble after they were arrested for conspiring to harvest a man’s kidney for the politician’s daughter.
A United Kingdom court on Friday sentenced Ekweremadu to a total of nine years and eight months imprisonment, while his wife, Beatrice, was sentenced to four years and six months imprisonment for her role in the conspiracy, while Dr Obeta, was jailed 10 years.
Ekweremadu, his wife and Obeta were found guilty at the Old Bailey for conspiring to arrange the travel of ta 21-year-old Lagos street trader to London with a view to exploiting him for his body part.
Reacting to the sentencing, Onuoha noted that it served the trio right.
She wrote;
‘’And let the choir say Amen. Serves them right. Do not take advantage of anyone because you are in a place of power. Dear Nigerian doctors, nurses and caregivers, do not sacrifice your licenses for anyone let alone Nigerian politicians who deliberately neglect our health care system back home but can rush overseas to be treated by the same Nigerians clinicians they treat poorly back home. As for the ex senator I hope they can extend his imprisonment. This same man was given millions if not billions to build hospitals back home in his state, he embezzled it. As for their daughter, I wish her well and good health. If she was better advised I’m sure she would have made a different choice. If you speak up and ask for help, I’m sure someone somewhere would have helped her out. Best of luck young woman and I pray God send you help and healing.”
