What do you think is the reason for UK government to turn down this request? And do you also think Ike Ekweremadu would have been jailed if it were to be in Nigeria?
Your opinions are welcomed here.
It’s actually a tragic case, not just because it affects the former Deputy senate president but the circumstances surrounding the case. Ekweremadu is a wealthy man ideally he won’t have committed such terrible crime, he is also highly respected due to his previous track records, this ugly incident just shattered his personality. This life one has to be very careful else one singular mistake can cause someone to lose everything he has suffered all his life to build, one also have to be careful on the means he/she is using to solve a problem so he doesn’t land himself in another more serious problem.
I know lots of people will be happy for this turn down by the UK government but just try to put yourself in the man’s shoe, he did that with the aim of trying to save his child life, the only ugly part is that it was to the detriment of another child’s life, everyone will want to go any length to save his/her child and that’s what Ekweremadu was trying to do before landing himself in this tragic mess, sometimes i wonder why he didn’t try to buy instead wanting to use that boy own? I can really feel the debt of his agony, this is a lesson that money can’t buy everything, Uk government has used this case to demonstrate that no one’s life is worth more than another. I do hope that nature will one day find a way to balance this ugly Ekweremadu case.
