Mpu community in the Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State erupted in jubilation, on Wednesday, over the return of Mrs. Beatrice Ekweremadu, wife of former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, from a United Kingdom prison,News360 Nigeria reports.

Our correspondent gathered that Mrs. Ekweremadu, who was sentenced to five years in prison in May 2023 for her involvement in an organ trafficking plot, returned to Nigeria on Tuesday.

She, her husband, and a medical doctor, Dr Obinna Obeta, were convicted by the UK court for their roles in a failed plot to harvest the kidney of a 21-year-old Lagos street trader.

The Ekweremadus were said to have lured the young trader to the UK for the purpose of harvesting one of his kidneys for their daughter, Sonia, who was suffering from a kidney disease.

The young man, however, fled in the UK and reported to the police, leading to the arrest, trial and conviction of the Ekweremadus on May 5, 2023.

The court sentenced Ekweremadu to nine years and eight months in prison; his wife, Beatrice, got four years and six months term, while the medical doctor who acted as a ‘middleman’ in the plot, Obeta, was sentenced to 10 years and his medical licence suspended.

During a community-wide celebration on Wednessay, the President of Mpu Town Union Federated, Mr. Benjamin Chijioke, described Mrs Ekweremadu’s return from the UK jail as a significant relief for the entire community.

“Our joy as Mpu people knows no bounds. This is a great day for us. Since morning, it has been jubilation and celebration across all the villages,” Chijioke said.

He noted that many community members, especially those who relied on the Ekweremadu family’s philanthropy, were overwhelmed with tears of joy.

He added that the celebrations coincided with the community’s Orie market day, which turned the marketplace into a hub of festivity.

“We thank God and pray that He intervenes so that our illustrious son and leader, distinguished Senator Ike Ekweremadu, will soon return home in good health,” Chijioke added. “Their absence has caused a significant setback for the community, but we remain hopeful.”

The councillor for Mpu Ward, Ogbuka Edwin, also expressed gratitude for Mrs. Ekweremadu’s return, saying the absence of the Ekweremadus had created a gap in the community.

“It feels like a public holiday here in Mpu. The news brought so much cheer. We will continue to pray until our leader and hero, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, rejoins his family,” Edwin said.

Social media platforms associated with the Mpu community have been flooded with messages of celebration and prayers for Senator Ekweremadu’s return.

One message read: “Daalu Ezinne! But I can’t wait until I see Ikeoha Global! The man who made me who I am politically—a builder of people and structures. New things will happen soon!”

Another stated: “May God’s name be praised now and always, Amen. It can only be God.”

Amidst the joy, another community member wrote: “Waoooi, good news! Thank you for everything. Dear mummy, you are highly, highly welcome, ma!”

This is 2025 for godsake!

Except they are freedom fighters or wrongly convicted, celebrating people returning from prison isnt something i would expect to see on Earth if i died in 300 B.C and returned in the year 2000


These people should stop this barbaric act. She should be stigmatized and cast away for the wrongdoings of her family not this

(A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).

During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?

Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?

Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.
