BREAKING NEWS : Rep. Bassey Akiba Unlocks a New Era as Cooperative Scheme Enters Full Implementation Phase

A new wave of excitement is sweeping across Calabar Municipality and Odukpani as Rep. Bassey Akiba’s Cooperative Scheme officially moves closer to full implementation.

The Cooperative Implementation Committee (CIC) has begun uploading the bio-data of cooperative members, a crucial step that strengthens transparency, ensures accurate documentation, and sets the stage for full rollout.

Speaking at the Constituency House, the CIC Chairman, Prof. Charles O’Neil, described the moment as “historic and transformational,” praising Rep. Akiba for his visionary leadership and people-focused development agenda.

Cooperative members also expressed joy and appreciation, noting that the scheme is bringing renewed hope, economic empowerment, and opportunities for households and small businesses across the constituency.

With the bio-data upload now underway, Rep. Akiba’s promise of community-driven economic growth has officially moved from plan to action.

BREAKING NEWS : UK rejects Nigerian request to deport former politican jailed for organ trafficking

The UK government has rejected a request by Nigeria to deport a former senior Nigerian politician convicted of organ trafficking.

Ike Ekweremadu, 63, a former deputy president of the Nigerian senate and ally of the former president Goodluck Jonathan, is serving a sentence of nine years and eight months after being found guilty in 2023 of conspiring to exploit a man for his kidney.

Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice, and a co-conspirator, Dr Obinna Obeta, trafficked a young man to London with a view to harvesting his kidney, which they planned to transplant to Ekweremadu’s daughter Sonia in a private unit of an NHS hospital.

It was the first conviction for organ trafficking under the Modern Slavery Act.

Last week, a Nigerian government delegation, led by the foreign minister, Yusuf Tuggar, met officials at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to discuss Ekweremadu’s case. The delegation requested his deportation so he could serve his remaining sentence in Nigeria.

A source at the MoJ has confirmed the request was rejected. It is understood the UK government was concerned that Nigeria could offer no guarantees that Ekweremadu would continue his prison sentence after being deported.
