Enugu-Ezike community in Igboeze North Local Government Area of Enugu State has invoked their deities and ancestors against perpetrators of criminal activities in the area.
Our correspondent reports that the Enugu-Ezike, known for herbal practices and traditional worships, recently became a home to criminals, including unknown gunmen, kidnappers, ritualists, and rapists. It has boundaries with Ogwugwu and Ette communities, which are dreaded because of kidnap activities.
The ritual was performed by one Igwe Stone who rained curses against those that made Enugu-Ezike, also known for palm-wine production, a dreaded place. The community constitutes the largest LGA in Enugu State. The invocation today also forbidded witchcraft, swindling, destiny snatching, etc.
The event was witnessed by a large turnout of natives. It was held at Orute roundabout, near the council headquarters.
Prominent natives of the multi-autonomous communities include Senator Ayogu Eze, Amb Fidel Ayogu, Chief Emeka Mama, Hon Simon Atigwe, and Hon Dennis Agbo.
