Ekweremadu: Prof Ibe requires enchantment in opposition to judgment

The founding father of Gregory University, Uturu (GUU), and the Abia Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the 2023 election, Prof Greg Ibe, has referred to as for quick commencement of enchantment proceedings to upturn the judgment of a London Court in opposition to former Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and two others.

UK Court had on May 5, sentenced Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice and Dr. Obinna Obeta to various jail terms over organ harvesting crime.

 In a statement he personally signed, Ibe recalled how during the trial process, GUU joined other well meaning Nigerians, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo in appealing to the court and indeed the UK government for clemency on diplomatic and compassionate grounds, for the then accused persons.

The GUU founder said now that the several pleas didn’t secure the leniency of the UK judiciary, he was compelled by the impending negative impact of the sentence on the nation’s image and the unfortunate gloomy fate of countless youths who are beneficiaries of Ekweremadu’s philanthropic benevolence to call for immediate commencement of legal appeal proceedings, in an effort to reverse the judgment.

While acknowledging that the various intercessions from well meaning Nigerians do not confer any form of innocence on Senator Ekweremadu and his team, it was imperative to “reassert the place of appeals to temper judgment with mercy in every temple of justice.”

The former Governorship candidate enjoined all affected beneficiaries of Ekweremadu’s academic benevolence, especially in Gregory University Uturu, to keep hope alive as he promised to partner other public spirited individuals in commencing multi-dimensional intervention in order to deliver timely succour and relief to them.
