Top Stories: Hundreds of youths and women in Umuoba Anam community in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State have embarked on nude protest against their traditional ruler, Igwe G.A. Ekwealor.
They accused the monarch of allegedly supporting the activities of herdsmen in the area.
The protesters claimed that their action was to appease the gods following what they described as debasement of their land by their traditional ruler.
They said the monarch allowed Fulani herdsmen into their community where they had been attacking the people, especially farmers.
The monarch, however, denied the allegation, saying that he had no hand in bringing the herdsmen to Umuoba Anam community.
In a chat with newsmen in Awka, Chairman of Anambra East Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alex Edozieuno, the traditional ruler of Mkpunabo Kingdom, said when the matter was brought to the council, it was discussed and Igwe Ekwealor was subsequently absolved of any wrong doing.
Igwe Edozieuno said the council also invited elders of the community who condemned the protesters and urged them to appease the gods
