Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

IGBOKWE KNOCKS EKWEREMADU’S SON FOR ELABORATE WEDDING AMID PARENT'S JAIL TERMS.(PHOTO).



Igbokwe knocks Ekweremadu’s son for elaborate wedding amid parents’ jail terms


Joe Igbokwe, an APC chieftain, has condemned Lloyd Ekweremadu, the son of former deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, for hosting an extravagant wedding despite his parents’ incarceration in the United Kingdom.


Lloyd married Tiffany Adaobi Obinna-Uzor at the Basilica of Grace, Anglican Communion, Gudu District, Abuja, on Saturday, August 19.


The Nation learnt top chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) including three former Senate Presidents – Anyim Pius Anyim, David Mark, and Bukola Saraki and PDP governorship candidate in Kogi State, Senator Dino Melaye, among others, stood in for Ekweremadu, and his wife Beatrice.


Ekweremadu, a PDP leader, was found guilty of organ trafficking and was sentenced in May 2023 and he is currently incarcerated in a UK prison along with his wife Beatrice.


The UK court sentenced Ekweremadu to nine years and eight months, while Beatrice received a prison term of four years and six months.


Obinna Obeta, a doctor who was accused of conspiring with them, was sentenced to ten years in prison.


In view of the situation, Igbokwe suggested that Ekweremadu’s son should have opted for a more private wedding ceremony, expressing concern over the boldness of today’s youth.


He said: “If I were to be Ekweremmadu’s son I would not have staged this elaborate wedding ceremony with my father and mother in prison. I would have done a low-key marriage ceremony and wait till my parents are free. This generation scares me stiff.”
