President Tinubu Sends High-Level Delegation to UK Over Ike Ekweremadu’s Case

 



In a major diplomatic move, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly dispatched a high-level Nigerian delegation to the United Kingdom to engage officials of the UK Ministry of Justice over the case of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.

According to reports from Vanguard, ThisDay, and Arise News, the delegation includes Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, and Attorney General & Minister of Justice, Lateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi (SAN). Their mission is to discuss the possibility of transferring Ekweremadu’s prison sentence to Nigeria, allowing him to serve the remainder of his term in a Nigerian correctional facility

Ike Ekweremadu was sentenced in May 2023 by a UK court after being convicted under the UK Modern Slavery Act for his involvement in an organ trafficking plot. The former lawmaker received nine years and eight months in prison, while his wife, Beatrice Ekweremadu, was sentenced to four years and six months. A third defendant, Dr. Obinna Obeta, received ten years.

Beatrice Ekweremadu has since completed her sentence and returned to Nigeria, but her husband remains incarcerated in the UK.

The latest diplomatic outreach is aimed at invoking the prisoner transfer agreement between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, which would make it possible for convicted Nigerian citizens to serve their sentences at home.

Sources familiar with the matter say the talks are still at the negotiation stage, and no official confirmation has yet come from the UK government regarding any potential agreement or transfer date.

However, this development signals the Tinubu administration’s willingness to intervene diplomatically on behalf of a senior Nigerian political figure and test the practical application of existing bilateral legal frameworks between the two nations.

Reactions have been mixed across social media. Some Nigerians commend President Tinubu’s move as a “compassionate diplomatic gesture,” while others question whether similar attention would be given to ordinary citizens facing legal challenges abroad.

As discussions continue, Nigerians will be watching closely to see if this delegation’s mission leads to tangible results — and whether Ike Ekweremadu could soon return to Nigeria to complete his prison term under local supervision.
