"Daniel vs Ekweremadu" Exposes High-Profile Organ Harvesting Case

A new documentary titled "Daniel vs Ekweremadu," produced by renowned Nigerian filmmaker Chude Jideonwo, has sparked widespread attention for its in-depth exploration of the high-profile case involving former Nigerian Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.

The film, which was released on August 23, delves into Ekweremadu's conviction for human trafficking and organ harvesting, crimes that led to his sentencing of 10 years in a British prison.

The documentary goes beyond recounting Ekweremadu's downfall, revealing new and critical developments connected to the case. One of the most striking revelations is the ongoing investigation by the London Metropolitan Police.

According to an email from Alexandra Meek, Senior Communication Manager for the MET Police, a woman in her 50s was arrested on November 8, 2022, on suspicion of conspiracy to exploit individuals for organ harvesting. Though she has been released an under investigation, inquiries are ongoing, which was cited as the reason why the police were unable to participate in the documentary.

*Daniel vs Ekweremadu* stands out not only for its compelling narrative but also for being a pioneering production from a West African independent studio. The two-part docu-series, available exclusively on http://withChude.com, provides a comprehensive account of Ekweremadu's dramatic fall from grace—from his powerful position in Nigeria to his imprisonment in the UK.

The film uses the pseudonym "Daniel" to refer to the victim-survivor, respecting a judge's directive to keep the real identity undisclosed. Featuring exclusive insights from British prosecutors, police, and the survivor's family, the documentary offers a gripping, thriller-like portrayal of the events surrounding this case.

The film's sensitive and impactful subject matter has generated significant discussion and is being hailed as a groundbreaking work in West African cinema.
