With its unique blend of factual reporting and thriller-style storytelling, the series represents a major accomplishment for West African independent filmmaking.
Ike Ekweremadu, a former deputy president of the Nigerian Senate, was found guilty of human trafficking in 2023 and given a ten-year prison sentence. The London Metropolitan Police is presently looking into this further case.
The award-winning director and TV host Chude Jideonwo made this revelation in his recently released documentary “Daniel vs. Ekweremadu.”
Launching on August 23, the two-part documentary series’ first installment delves deeply into the scandal that resulted in the conviction of Ekweremadu, his wife Beatrice, and their associate Dr. Obinna Obeta for organ harvesting under the UK’s Modern Slavery Law.
By means of an email from Alexandra Meek, a senior communication manager for the MET Police, the documentary also presents a recent development in the case.
In the email shown in the documentary, Meek confirmed, “On Tuesday, 8 November 2022, detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime arrested a woman on suspicion of conspiracy to exploit for the purposes of organ harvesting. The woman, who is in her 50s, has been released under investigation. Enquiries remain ongoing.”
With its exclusive release on withChude.com, the documentary provides exclusive access to key players in the case, including British prosecutors, police, and the family of the victim-survivor, known as “Daniel.” The series is a significant accomplishment for West African independent filmmaking, fusing factual reporting with thriller-style storytelling. This statement emphasizes how the MET Police’s ongoing investigation is directly linked to the Ekweremadu case, further intensifying the controversy surrounding it.
