Dozens
of naked Kokori women, on Sunday afternoon took to the streets to
protest the siege on the Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta
State community by troops of the Joint Task Force (JTF).
Reports
from the community indicated that the about 100 naked protesters were
unhappy that their husbands have fled the community due to the military
operation launched in the wake of the arrest of notorious criminal,
Kelvin Oniarah.
It was
gathered that naked young and old protesters defied soldiers who were
deployed to the community in the wake of Friday’s attack on the palace
of the Ovie of Agbon Kingdom, HRM Ogurimerime Ukori 1, by armed youths
suspected to be members of the notorious kidnap kingpin’s gang.
A source from the community said, “The women number about 100, were singing mourning songs about the fate of Kokori.”
“They
said the soldiers who prevented their husband from coming home should
come and sleep with them and perform the duties of their husbands,” a
source from the community said.
The Commanding Officer of Sector 1 command of the JTF, Lt. Colonel Ifeanyi Otu, could not be reached for comment.
