Former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, started giving back to society while waiting to be charged for “facilitating and arranging travel with the aim of exploiting “a 21-year old”, a former inmate, Mr. X, has told The Guardian.

He described him as a “simple and nice man.” The Nigerian-born X, however, said he had never heard of the Senator before both met at the His Majesty’s Prison.

Ekweremadu, who was sentenced with his wife, Beatrice, and Dr. Obinna Obeta at the Old Bailey last week Friday, got from people he had helped in the past, the former prisoner disclosed.

Speaking with The Guardian inside the Caffè Nero shop opposite Courtroom 1, where the Senator was slammed with over nine years jail term on the day of the sentencing, X said he was at Wandsworth Prison when Ekweremadu was brought there in June last year, after he and his wife were arrested on arrival at Heathrow Airport on June 21.

“He was always having a lot of letters,” he said. Asked if the letters were written by the Senator and how he came about them, the former inmate replied with a “no,” adding, “People were writing him from Nigeria.

Those he had helped before.”

X, who has regained his freedom since late September, after a Southwark Crown Court jury pronounced a “not guilty” verdict on him, also said the Senator read the Bible a lot and prayed during his time Wandsworth.

Giving a glowing reference for the former deputy senate president, X disclosed that, “he was lecturing. He was teaching a lot of Eastern Europeans English.”

Ekweremadu was later moved to Belmarsh before his trial started at the Old Bailey on January 31.

He made mistake but May God see him through

this'll give him some time to reflect.

It is good he is teaching them English, but let him not teach nonsense.

It is security /sɪˈkjʊərɪti,sɪˈkjɔːrɪti/ not sekourity.

It is develop /dɪˈvɛləp/ not dehvehlope.

Please do not commit another crime of teaching wrong English.

He shouldn't teach them Human Anatomy and Organ Harvesting Studies oh.

Prison is in itself injustice for the purpose of humanity is freedom but man must be sane to enjoy this, for that prison is good for ekweremadu

Go give Sonia your kidney and stop making useless prayers here.

Enjoy your 3 hots and a cot for 9 years.
Probably going to be out in 7.

Mmm…

Is this the silly format to grant him pardon?

Fools!

Ekweremadu should be there and serve his full sentence.

He was opposed to Obi’s ambition. Now he will be in prison throughout 8 years of Obi’s tenure as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Onye ala!

He deserves all the punishment he is getting.

what u stated up there is the British or American way of pronunciation. The most important thing is the spelling, An Australian will likely have a different pronounciation from a canadian

You wan whine abi..

White people and their contradictions.
I prefer corrupt people be jailed for corruption not with a controversial law

If you won't agree that an adult can willfully give his kidney in exchange for settlement then convincing me that homosexuality is permitted on ground of 'adults consent' is farfetched.

Buying organs raises a serious moral question but can hardly be stopped legally, provided it involves adults with no deception and coerciveness.

Sharap biko....

None of his entire family member to cousins or relatives or extended family could donate kidney, even people he has helped for years ..na one small boy own na him sure for that useless shameless amount that cannot build a small 2 bedroom house for the Lad

This is joke right??
Dude ain't a native speaker, so he's gonna be teaching English using the rules of his native language and besides there is more to English than speaking. Most White struggle to understand the typical Africa accent.
