CSP EKENE NWOSU: WHEN A MURDEROUS AND ROGUE POLICE OFFICER DIES- Inibehe Effiong

I have read about the death of CSP Ekene Nwosu, the former OC of the Anti-Robbery Squad in the Akwa Ibom State Police Command Headquarters.
Since the news of his demise broke, a lot of people have been celebrating, with many recounting their ordeals and terrible experiences in the hands of Ekene.
Those who are against the celebration of his death are entitled to their opinions.
The Ekene Nwosu that I knew, and had occasions to confront, was a devil, a despicable human being, a murderous and callous policeman who went to the extremes to dehumanize his many victims.
Ekene is a perfect example of a rogue police officer, he subjected innocent people in Akwa Ibom to the most barbaric forms of dehumanization.
He had no respect for lawyers, he had no respect for human rights, and held the Judiciary in contempt.
The Courts found him culpable for the violation of the rights of citizens in many cases, including the ones handled by our law firm in Uyo.
The fact that such a despicable person was allowed to continue in service despite many the complaints against him speaks to the rot in the Police.
Ekene had so much power in the State.
Successive Commissioners of Police failed to checkmate him, partly because he was a mercenary for oppressive and corrupt politicians in Akwa Ibom State.
I am reliably informed that Ekene celebrated the death of the immediate past CP who finally ensured that he was transferred to Ekiti State where he died yesterday .
Politicians used him to target people.
Ekene was a devil, and I hope that other rogues in uniform will realize that they will die one day.
It is true that every mortal will taste death, but we should always reflect on what we will be remembered for.
For Ekene, those who remember him for his many evil deeds are within their right.

I’ll never go to Arise TV until he’s removed – Igbokwe on clash between Minister Umahi, Rufai

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe has vowed to steer clear of Arise Television until one of the TV’s presenters and show host, Rufai Oseni, is sacked.
Igbokwe’s remark followed a drama that ensued between the Minister of Works, David Umahi and Rufai during an interview on The Morning Show on Monday.
According to a trending video, the minister, who was furious over some questions that were put out to him by Rufai regarding the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, asked the show host to keep quiet.
Umahi claimed he is a professor in the field of engineering and has vast knowledge regarding the federal government projects.
But Rufai became inquisitive and demanded to know the year the minister became a professor.
Reacting to the drama, Igbokwe in a Facebook post, said until Rufai is sacked, he will not appear on the TV station, stating that the station has “become a TV Station of anything goes.
“I will never go there again until Rufai Oseni is removed.
“The Animal Science graduate is making a mockery of Journalism. Televion Station is not a place for mediocres and noise makers”, the APC chieftain posted.

Alleged Christian genocide: US Rep asks Trump to tag Nigeria ‘Country of Particular Concern’

A lawmaker representing West Virginia’s Second District in the United States House of Congress, Rep Riley M. Moore, has written to President Donald Trump, asking the US government to immediately designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concerns, CPC.
The letter dated October 6, 2025, and addressed to Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, US Department of State in Washington DC, was sighted by Ekwutosblog on Tuesday.
In the letter, the lawmaker urged the US government to immediately halt sales of arms and all associated technical support to Nigeria until the “Nigerian government demonstrates that it is sufficiently committed to ending the reign of persecution and slaughter”.
Moore claimed that from January to September 2025 alone, no fewer than 7,000 Christians have been gruesomely murdered by “Muslim extremist groups”.
He alleged that at least 250 Catholic Priests have been attacked or killed across the country since 2015, stressing that “between Boko Haram uprising in 2009 and 2025, 19,100 churches in Nigeria have been attacked or destroyed”.
Ekwutosblog reports that President Trump had during his first tenure designated Nigeria as a CPC but his successor, former President Joe Biden reversed the designation.
US Senator Ted Cruz, television host Bill Maher, and political commentator Van Jones had also alleged that Nigeria is witnessing a “Christian genocide”.
During a recent podcast appearance with American talk show host Bill Maher, Senator Cruz alleged that Christians were being systematically targeted and killed in Nigeria, describing the situation as “genocide”.
But the Federal Government had since dismissed the report, stating that the deteriorating security situation in the country does not target a particular religion.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, in a recent statement, described the allegations as false, misleading and capable of inciting division.
According to him, the foreign commentators were “orchestrating wild allegations about unproven ongoing genocide” in Nigeria and urged Nigerians and the international community to reject attempts to “robe the country with a garment that is not hers”.
