The Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan commended defense lawyers to Senator Ekweremadu and his wife, who he said were working hard to get them out of detention.
He disclosed that he met with the British High Commissioner who briefed him on the progress of the case as well as details of what transpired
Lawan added that the Senate delegation would include the members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs.
“The Senate delegation will include members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs who shall travel out in two days’ time”, Lawan said.
