South LGA stripped naked to communicate their grievances.
The women took to the street protest the alleged continued
detention of the President General of the community, Ndubuisi
Ekumankama, by the police, Punch reports.
Ekumankama was alleged to have demolished a widow’s house
in Amangwu Edda community of Ebonyi State.

Ebonyi State Government House in Abakaliki but were
intercepted by policemen at Nkwegu, near a military
cantonment.
The protesting women were naked in the upper regions of their
body. It was learnt that some policemen fled the scene of the
protest because of the belief that policemen who attempt to stop
naked protesters would die.
The Ebonyi State Police Commissioner, Ibekwe Abdallah, said he
had to send a team of policewomen to the scene of the protest,
who brought the protest under control.
