Mrs Beatrice Ekweremadu testified on Tuesday, 14 March, in organ harvesting trial involving her and her husband Ike Ekweremadu, at the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, also known as Old Bailey, London.
She told the court that that she was unaware of what she was being accused of.
The plaintiff attempted to find out how much information the 56-year-old accountant knew about who the alleged victim was.
But Mrs Ekweremadu said she was unaware of a number of affairs on the home front, telling the court that as a woman with a powerful politician and lawyer for a husband, she refrained from questioning him.
With the trial entering its seventh week, a teary Mrs Ekweremadu, however, in defence of her husband, former Deputy Senate President, said: “My husband is a good man and I have come to trust him.”
The couple is accused of plotting alongside one Dr Obinna Obeta to arrange an illegal kidney transplant for their sick daughter Sonia, 25, who is also named as a defendant.
They allegedly conspired to transport a 21-year-old street trader from Lagos to London to harvest his organ.
The victim had testified that he had no knowledge of the fact that he was being brought to the UK for his organs to be harvested, adding that he only knew about the organ donation when he visited private doctors at the Royal Free Hospital.
