Ike Ekweremadu, a former deputy senate president, apparently did not receive bail from a British court, but Beatrice Ekweremadu did.
Authorities in the UK detained Ekweremadu and his wife on charges that they had brought a juvenile illegally to the country in order to remove his kidney.
However, after his credentials were made public, it was made clear that the victim was not a kid but rather was 21 years old.
