He disclosed this in a post on X.com on Sunday.
Metuh wrote, “Today, I joined the Ekweremadu daughters and some family members to celebrate the 62nd birthday of my friend and brother for life. Indeed, I am so proud of the girls, especially Sonia, who has shown remarkable strength and resilience in these trying and most difficult times.
“We cut a birthday cake in his honour and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch in celebration. May the Almighty God give him peace and good health as we pray for a grand re-union in Jesus name.”
The family gathered to cut a birthday cake and enjoy a celebratory lunch in Ekweremadu’s honor. Metuh prayed for Ekweremadu’s peace, good health, and a grand reunion soon.

They were found guilty of facilitating the travel of a young man to Britain for exploitation and sentenced to prison terms in May 2023.
Ekweremadu received a nine-year and eight-month sentence, while his wife was sentenced to four years and six months for plotting to harvest a man’s kidney.
