American-based Nigerian star actress, Georgina Onuoha has mocked former Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, following their imprisonment in the United Kingdom, UK, under the Modern Slavery Act,.
Last Friday, the UK Court had sentenced Ekweremadu to 9 years and eight months, while his wife Beatrice and Obinna Obetta got four years and ten years jail terms, respectively for organ trafficking.
Ekweremadu, Beatrice and Obeta were convicted of conspiracy to arrange the travel of a young Nigerian man identified as David Nwamini to Britain in order to exploit his kidney organ for Ekweremadu’s sick daughter, Sonia.
Reacting, The actress said the sentence serves them right.
Georgina accused Ekweremadu of embezzling money that was given to him to build hospitals in Nigeria.
“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 healthcare system back home but can rush overseas to be treated by the same Nigerian 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.”
