The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Monday morning received the remains of Senator Barinada Mpigi at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Mpigi, who represented Rivers South-East Senatorial District, died in London on February 19, 2026, at the age of 64.
Wike arrived at the airport at about 5:30 a.m. alongside other dignitaries to receive the body.
He also welcomed the late senator’s wife, Patricia Obiageri Mpigi, and their children.
Among those present were Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa; Senators Philip Aduda, Magnus Abe, Allwell Onyesoh and Olaka Nwogu; House of Representatives Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda; Rivers State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Ambassador Desmond Akawor; and the National Vice Chairman (South-South) of the All Progressives Congress, Victor Giadom, among others.
Wike had earlier travelled to London last week to commiserate with the family and oversee arrangements for the repatriation of the late senator’s remains to Nigeria.
