A London court on Monday granted Beatrice, wife of a former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, bail.
While she was granted bail, her husband, who is the lawmaker representing Enugu West Senatorial district, was denied bail.
Ekweremadu was charged by the UK Metropolitan Police with conspiracy to facilitate the travel of another person for organ harvesting.
It is alleged Ike Ekweremadu, 60, and his wife, Beatrice Ekweremadu, 55, brought the 21-year-old man from Nigeria to the UK.
Prosecutors claim they planned to have his kidney removed so it could be given to their daughter.
