Nnarambia Ahiara, Ahiazu Mbaise, Imo State, Nigeria — November 30, 2025 —
The David Omenukor Foundation (DOF), in partnership with the Global Colon Cancer Association (GCCA), successfully organized a free colorectal cancer seminar, awareness session, and screening event at St. Brigid’s Catholic Church, Nnarambia Ahiara, Ahiazu Mbaise LGA, Imo State, Nigeria.
This initiative is part of the Foundation’s ongoing mission to bring lifesaving awareness and early detection services to communities across Nigeria, especially underserved rural regions where colorectal cancer often goes undiagnosed until advanced stages. The outreach also featured blood pressure and diabetes screenings, providing a comprehensive community health experience.
Screening Outcomes
310 universal stool sample containers distributed
155 samples returned and analyzed
38 positive results
117 negative results
These results underscore the urgent need for consistent community-based screenings and public education to reduce the burden of colorectal cancer.

During the event, Mr. Chibuike Ahamba, representing the David Omenukor Foundation, delivered health education on:
Healthy lifestyle habits
Nutrition and risk reduction
Factors that increase colorectal cancer risk

Early screening as the most effective tool for prevention
Participants received clear, actionable information to help safeguard their health and that of their families.
