Naked Women Protest Against Detention Of Community Leader In EbonyiBy Ignatius OkparaEBONYI, NIGERIA (AFRICAN EAXMINER) – The entire Nkwegu community near Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital was on Monday thrown into pandemonium, as no fewer than 200 naked women from Afikpo-South council Area of the state staged a protest over the alleged continued detention of the President General of the community, Mr. Ndubuisi Ekumankama, by the police.
It would be recalled that the community leader was recently arrested for allegedly demolishing a widow’s house in Amangwu Edda community of the State.
The naked women were on their way to the Ebonyi State Government House, Abakaliki, before they were intercepted by policemen at Nkwegu, near a military cantonment.
It took the intervention of Ebonyi State Police Commissioner, Ibekwe Abdallah, to manage the situation, as he dispatched a team of policewomen to the scene of the protest.
“Today, we got information that the same women had gone and mobilised over 200 other women to storm the Government House in protest.
