JUST IN: Ikweremadu And His Wife Sentenced To 16years Imprisonment For Organ Harvesting.

Ike Ekweremadu, the former Senate President, his wife Beatrice, and Doctor Obinna Obeta have all received prison sentences for their roles in the organ harvesting allegations that a UK court brought against them.

While his wife received a six-year prison term, the former vice president of the Senate received a ten-year sentence.

In March, the Old Bailey found the couple and medical "middleman" Dr. Obeta, 50, guilty.
Sonia, the severely kidney-impaired daughter of the Ekweremadus, sobbed when she was absolved of the same accusation.

In a Friday sentencing session, Ekweremadu was given a nine years and eight months in prison sentence, his wife Beatrice received a four years and six months in prison sentence, and Obeta was given a ten years in prison sentence.

"In each of your cases, the offence you committed is so serious that neither a fine nor a community sentence can be justified," Mr. Justice Johnson told the prisoners.

In an £80,000 private treatment at London's Royal Free Hospital, it was claimed that the 21-year-old street vendor would receive compensation for giving the organ to Sonia Ekweremadu.

In this instance, defendants were found guilty of a conspiracy to steal organs for the first time in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act.

While giving a kidney is legal, doing it in exchange for cash or another substantial benefit is against the law.

According to the prosecution, the donor was promised a better life in the UK and up to £7,000.

The Old Bailey was informed that the donor was unaware that he was going to donate his kidney until his first medical consultation.
