Sonia Ekweremadu, the daughter of former deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, appeared in a UK court today, November 7, to answer claims that she trafficked a homeless man into the country to harvest his organs for herself.
Recall that the lawmaker and his wife, Beatrice, were arrested in June this year and have been standing trial alongside their doctor, Obinna Obeta, for allegedly bringing in a 21-year-old man into the UK for a procedure where his kidney was to be harvested and transplanted to their daughter, who has kidney disease and has been on dialysis for some time.
In court today, the prosecutors told the court that the Ekweremadus and their doctor were arrested after the young man, who previously lived on the streets of Lagos, turned up at Staines police station, claiming he was a victim of trafficking.
Prosecutors claim David told police officers he had arrived in the UK on February 20 of this year and had been taken to the Royal Free Hospital for tests, none of which he consented to. After these tests, he said he had returned to the house he had been staying in, where he was “treated effectively as a slave.” Prosecutors claim he escaped the address and was homeless for three days before going to the police.
Ike Ekweremadu and his doctor are currently on remand in HMP Wandsworth and HMP Belmarsh, respectively. Ekweremadu’s wife, Beatrice, who was granted bail at a hearing in July, appeared in court today alongside their daughter, Sonia.
The Ekweremadus and Obeta will next appear at the Old Bailey on December 16 of this year, and a trial date has been set for January 31, 2023.

A baby who was born weighing less than a loaf of bread at just 535g has finally returned home after battling for her life in the hospital for five months.
The child was born on the 4th of March 2022 after her mother, Lauren Ormston, 27, went into premature labour at just 23 weeks at St Peter’s Hospital, Surrey, UK.
Due to the frailty of her condition, doctors informed Lauren and her fiance, Oliver Dewey, 31, that baby Isla had a 10% chance of survival as she was very small.
After she was born, she was rushed to the neonatal unit where she was later diagnosed with level two bleed on the brain and a hole in the heart.
The new mom, speaking on her experience said,
‘I started getting terrible stomach pains and I just thought the baby was moving around, but when the pain intensified, I knew something was wrong.’
‘They suggested getting transferred to a bigger hospital which would increase the chance to 30%.
‘It was terrifying.
‘But I had to take the chance, and I’m so glad I did.
‘The birth was easy, and I only had gas and air.
‘I could only cuddle Isla for six minutes before she was taken to a ventilator.
‘She looked so small and fragile, like she would snap at the slightest bit of movement.
‘I was so worried, but I knew my baby girl was a fighter.
‘Her skin was transparent, I could see every little vein within her body.
‘I lived each day, never knowing if she would make it, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.
‘After six weeks, she came off the ventilator but needed an oxygen mask over her face.
‘We had our first cuddle, and her little hand was barely the size of the tip of my husband’s pinky finger.’
Baby Isla spent five months in the hospital and was finally discharged on July 12th 2022 at 10lb 8oz.
However, she lost one of her eyes during an unsuccessful surgery but Lauren, the new mom, said losing an eye isn’t the worse thing that could have happened to Isla and she’s excited that her daughter survived despite the slim chances.

Politician, Dino Melaye, has demanded an apology from Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, after the latter lashed out at him at the presidential town hall meeting on Sunday night.
Obi tackled Dino, the spokesperson of the PDP presidential campaign council, at the meeting organized by Arise TV on Sunday night, November 6, when one of the attendees stood up to question Obi and someone from the crowd was heard saying, “Obi people, Na wah o.”
On hearing the words, Peter Obi took a swipe at Dino, accusing him of calling everybody “Obi people.” Read here.
Dino has now reacted to the outburst in a video he shared on social media, demanding an apology from the flagbearer of the Labour Party.
Dino, who maintained that he didn’t say anything that should have made Obi lash out at him in that manner, said his outburst is evidence that Obi is capable of physically assaulting his security detail if he becomes president.
According to Dino, a president should be someone who’s accommodating, patient, and relates well with people.
His words,
“I didn’t do anything, that outburst is unwarranted, very unpresidential, unacceptable of a leader. A leader must be mature, one who wants to govern this country must be accommodating, must have a lot of patience, must have perseverance, these are the basic characteristics of a leader anywhere in the world.”
Controversial online personality, Solomon Buchi has explained why Christians shouldn’t listen to worldly songs by artistes like Beyonce and Cardi B.
In a lengthy post shared on his Twitter page, Solomon Buchi said most secular songs have perverse, immoral and profane lyrics that Christians shouldn’t feed their ears with.
According to him, worldly songs permeate the minds of believers and prevent them from being spiritually alert.
Referencing the part of the Bible where an evil spirit left Saul when David was playing a musical instrument, Solomon asserted that it’s possible to attract demons and spirits through songs so it’s better for Christians to desist from worldly songs.
Read his full post below,
“Christian, there are many famous musicians you must not listen to. Beyoncé is one of them, Cardi B, and others. Beyoncé’s music has occasional outbursts of profanity against the Bible. One of her lyrics reads: “I plugged my menses with pages from the holy book.” This is SATANISM.
Many of her songs illustrate impiety and promote symbols that represent spiritual murkiness. This might be considered slanderous to some of you that tenaciously stan her, however, as Christians, we don’t stan people because they are popular, we stan Godly representation,
She and her compeers promote an overtly sensual and vainly lustrous perception of womanhood. Is she talented? Yes! Is she a good performer? Yes! But talent doesn’t equal godliness and worldly excellence doesn’t justify God’s presence.
It is same with Christians who listen to Nicki Minaj, and the rest who constantly talk about their privates. Really amoral lyrics. WAP. Why should a Christian listen to songs like this? What exactly does it do to your mind?
They may have trendy beat and irresistible melodies, but they are created to masturbate your mind away from spiritual alertness. I am a musician, I play the guitar and I can tell you for free that music is powerful! Highly powerful. David played the harp and demons left Saul.
If it’s possible to chase away demons through music, isn’t it logically consistent to assume that it’s possible to attract certain demons and spirits through music? With our lukewarm Theo-cultural sensitivity, this might seem like a weak take.
Have you ever wondered why it is easy to legit memorize the lyrics of a song than to read a book? Music, they say, is the language of the soul. Music can make you enjoy words you would abhor if they were merely spoken to you. Melodies make you enjoy what you should spit out.
As an audiophile and deeply musically inclined person, I appreciate a wide range of musical ingenuity, but I had to cut off many. There are songs that just come with a sense of depression. Why should you listen to songs that create a mood that’s against your wellness ?
Have you ever listened to songs that made you feel what you had never experienced? That’s the potency of carefully crafted lyrics and melodic doodles. Every song that kicks you into a mind-sphere that’s anti biblical values should be avoided.
For some Christians, the impediment to the renewal of your mind is the songs you listen to. It’s impossible to desire chastity and be listening to songs that promote lust and provoking lyrics. You can’t, my friends. Music doesn’t need so much of your permission, it permeates.
If you desire spiritual growth, you should definitely stop listening to a lot of songs. If they promote nudity, immoral attitudes, and godlessness, avoid them. Avoid them. No.
I’m not asking you to cancel any musician. Nobody is beyond redemption, however, as a Christian, you must say NO to many things everyone have no problem with. This conversation is not a matter of it being a sin or NOT. It’s a matter of focusing on things that are pure.”

The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was noticeably absent at the presidential town hall meeting last night, was spotted at a birthday party held close to the venue.
It would be recalled that the town hall meeting hosted by Arise TV was held on Sunday night, November 6, in Abuja ahead of the forthcoming general election in February 2023.
However, only three presidential aspirants were physically present at the meeting including Labour Party’s Peter Obi, NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso and PRP’s Kola Abiola, while PDP’s Atiku Abubakar was represented by his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa.
Shortly after the meeting began and people started asking about Tinubu’s whereabout, a video of him at a birthday party surfaced online.
The birthday party was that of his associate, retired colonel Sani Bello, held about eight minutes drive from the venue of the presidential town hall meeting.
Amid the brouhaha caused by his absence, his spokesperson, Festus Keyamo, released an official statement where he said Tinubu can’t attend all events because he has a tight schedule.
Read the full statement below,
“Firstly, many radio and TV networks in Nigeria have indicated interests to host such debates and out of deference to other TV and radio stations, our candidate will not be making selective appearances in some networks, whilst ignoring others.
As President of Nigeria, by the Special Grace of God, he intends to treat all persons and businesses fairly and equally.
Secondly, the busy and hectic campaign schedules of Asiwaju Tinubu will not permit him to honour all such invitations by different radio and TV networks, hence our decision for him not to start with one TV station and later ignore others.
Thirdly, our candidate had long before now realised the importance of speaking directly to Nigerians and shortly after unfolding his Action Plan as President embarked on Town Hall meetings beginning with his interaction with the Business Community and other stakeholders in Kano followed by the Town Hall meeting and presentation by experts last week in Lagos. Tomorrow, he will be interacting with Agro and Commodity Groups in Minna, Niger State.”
Veteran Nollywood actress turned prophetess, Idowu Phillips popularly known as Iya Rainbow, has recounted how one of her children tried to introduce her to witchcraft so she can be rich.

She said one of her children was against her religious beliefs and advised her to become a witch so she would be rich and have enough money to take care of their family.
“It was tough; after prayers, some of them would always cry. Whenever one of my sons saw me with a Bible he would ask what I was doing with it. At a point, he said he would take me to where I could become a witch and I agreed. He said that once I became a witch we would be okay,”she said.
Speaking further, Mama Rainbow said after she gave in and went to the place with her son, he was the one who dragged her out after they disclosed the price she has to pay to become rich.
“I agreed and he took me somewhere, but before God and man, when I got there and they told me the requirements, I was shocked. They said it was the child I loved the most that would be used for sacrifice.
“I told the person that it was the child I loved most that brought me to the place. At that point, my son held my hand and said it was time to go home,” she added.

In a video that found its way to the internet, the man of God, who was displeased that a member of his church dropped such a meagre sum as offering, dashed to the lady’s car after the service to confront her.

In other news, Nigerian lawyer and author, Reno Omokri has shared the most foolish decision a single man looking for a relationship can make.
According to Reno, dating a jobless woman who was also high maintenance as a guy trying to be successful was a terrible idea.
In his words;
Dear single men,
Dating an unemployed lady who is also high maintenance is the most foolish thing you can do. It is like paying to carry a burden. Listen, women are not rare. 50% of the population are women. Stop dating a liability no matter her sensuality! Never think that relationships with women are hard to come by. Not true. Success is hard to come by. A job is hard to come by. Millionaire status is hard to come by. Prioritise. Focus on things that are harder to get. Once your tree has fruit, many low maintenance high quality women will gather under it!
A Nigerian lady, identified simply as Baby C, has called out reality TV star, Eric Akhigbe, for allegedly duping her of N5.3 million she paid to secure a slot in the BBNaija house.
The lady, in a video posted on her Instagram page, shared screenshots of her chat with Eric, a former housemate in the Big Brother Naija lockdown edition, and accused him of scamming her and using the money to relocate abroad.

The agent then charged her N5 million for a slot in the BBNaija season 7 show and an extra N300,000 for media and content creation.
Due to her desperation to participate in the show, she made the payment of N5.3m in three instalments but unfortunately, she wasn’t selected as an housemate in the recently concluded show.
After being disappointed, she sent numerous messages to Eric to help her get a refund from the alleged Multichoice agent but he failed to respond to her messages.
Baby C, who is livid over the loss of her hard-earned money, then accused Eric of scamming her and using the proceeds to relocate to the UK.
She also claimed that she has reported the case to the police and it’s currently in the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department.

Taking to his Instastory to share his opinion, Stanley asserted that whether one has sex on the first date or not, a person who is genuinely interested in pursuing a relationship would still proceed with the relationship.
According to him, people should stop putting much thought into sex because it’s not that deep.
He wrote,
“Sex on the first date or not, who will stay will stay, who will leave will regardless, trust me it doesn’t mean you are cheap, don’t be sentimental about everything.”
According to him, instead of investing their income so it can yield returns, they spend it all on looking good and maintaining their beauty.
“Most ladies are broke because they spend all their money maintaining beauty instead of investing, same reason why they are so fine and you are attracted to them,” he wrote.

Nigerian lawyer and author, Reno Omokri has shared the most foolish decision a single man looking for a relationship can make.
According to Reno, dating a jobless woman who was also high maintenance as a guy trying to be successful was a terrible idea.
In his words;
Dear single men,
Dating an unemployed lady who is also high maintenance is the most foolish thing you can do. It is like paying to carry a burden. Listen, women are not rare. 50% of the population are women. Stop dating a liability no matter her sensuality! Never think that relationships with women are hard to come by. Not true. Success is hard to come by. A job is hard to come by. Millionaire status is hard to come by. Prioritise. Focus on things that are harder to get. Once your tree has fruit, many low maintenance high quality women will gather under it!
The Ondo State Police Command has apprehended a 54-year-old man, Ojo Joseph, for allegedly setting ablaze five of his stepchildren.

According to reports, the suspect poured petrol into the room of his stepchildren and set them ablaze while asleep.
A source within the area who spoke to Nigerian Tribune, said the man perpetrated the heinous act because the mother of the children allegedly denied him sex and they have been having misunderstandings over the issue.
According to the source, the alarm which was raised by the children attracted the neighbours who raced to the scene of the incident to save the children, but one of them was burnt to death in the inferno.
The mother of the seven children is said to have escaped from the inferno with her twins with a minor injury, but four of the children were rushed to a clinic where they were referred to the Federal Medical Centre, Owo, for medical treatment.
Confirming the incident on Sunday, spokesperson of the command, Funmi Odunlami said the man had been arrested for a case of alleged arson and murder.
The PPRO explained that the suspect is the stepfather of the victims and not their biological father, but said the suspect is the father of the 18-month-old twins.
Odunlami said an investigation had commenced into the matter and the man would be charged to court after the investigation.

“Can someone kindly help me check if Otedola’s son is old enough to get married? Have you seen what’s going on? Have you seen the yacht they are on? The yacht is so beautiful, you know when you don’t have to worry about what is going on in your country, you can be anywhere in the world you want to be. I don’t care if that boy is a child with special needs, I’m a girl with special needs as well, so he will scratch my back and I will scratch his.
