“‘He is a member of the bar in Nigeria. He is a principal in a law firm that bears his name.
“’Those issues taken together go way beyond him being a person of good character…rather that he has led a blameless life as a public servant.’
“Mr Irwin added that the allegations were ‘nothing short of preposterous’.
“Antonia Gray, for Mrs Ekweremadu, said: ‘She has never been complicit or involved in any alleged illegal trafficking of any young person.
‘She is a financial accountant with an unblemished record.’” The Nation.
