The Nigerian Senate has announced plans to send a high-powered delegation to meet with former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu in London.

The Senate’s decision was after they met behind closed doors for two hours on Wednesday.

The Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan commended defence lawyers to Senator Ekweremadu and his wife, who he said were working hard to get them out of detention.

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.
