Sonia Ekweremadu has opened up about her parents’ conviction over allegations of organ trafficking.
On Friday, May 12, her parents were sentenced to jail by a UK court. The court sentenced Ike Ekweremadu, to nine years and eight months in prison, and Beatrice to four years and six months in prison while a doctor who allegedly colluded with them, Obinna Obeta, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Sonia was however cleared of any wrongdoing.
In an interview with BBC, said:
“It is sad, It’s been really hard to wrap my head around it. I understand the conviction, personally, I disagree with it. However, that’s from a very bias perspective as their daughter and I would obviously always, always back my parents. However, the law has taken its curse and we just have to now move forward as a family”.
She also revealed that she suffers from nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that causes your body to pass too much protein in your urine.
