Former monarch's wife paraded by community members who claim she was caught burying charms (photos/videos)

A woman identified as Mrs Chinelo, was on Wednesday, Oct. 22, paraded by community members around the villages of Ibom Isii, Arochukwu LGA of Abia.  The villagers claim Mrs Chinelo, who is the widow of the former traditional ruler of the Ibom Isii, was allegedly caught at 2am on Wednesday burying a calabash, knife, and a handwritten list of names at her late husbands home.  Eyewitnesses raised an alarm, and villagers apprehended her before the elders intervened to prevent mob action. Videos circulated by villagers show Chinelo with a red wrapper around her chest and with what appears to be a clay bowl in her hand as she was being paraded by villagers who were singing and playing local musical instrument.  The bowl in her hands is alleged to be the charms she was allegedly caught trying to bury. Some villagers in the video, claimed that Mrs Chinelo was previously sent away from her husbands home by community members over alleged infidelity. After being paraded around the villages, she was handed over to the elders, who then took her to Inyama Avia, the ancient traditional sanctuary of Arochukwu a spiritual tribunal where individuals accused of evil deeds are required to swear before the ancestors.  Chinelo is the wife of late Eze-Ibom-Isii, Mazi Kanu Nwa Kanu Okereke, who was deposed in early 2024 and did a year later. See videos below.  The post Former monarch's wife paraded by community members who claim she was caught burying charms (photos/videos) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
