A man was arrested on Wednesday, March 6, by indigenes of Awka for kiling a monkey.

Monkeys are considered sacred animals in Awka and it is forbidden to kill them.

The man arrested for killing a monkey in the village was seen in a viral video confessing that he has lived in Awka for 24 years and that he was aware that the culture forbids the killing and eating of monkeys.

He explained that he did not intentionally kill the monkey, rather he had set a trap in the bush, hoping to catch other bush meat but his trap caught a monkey.

He begged for mercy saying: “I know I have committed, please do not kill me, but you can take me anywhere you want.”

The indigenes eventually agreed to spare his life, but told him that the community will take steps to appease the god of the land to avoid repercussions.

paraded indeed

cultural wahala in Nigeria

So you are telling me that, if i feel like eating roasted monkey, i can't buy and eat in my own home

I can't believe some cultures that ought to be disposed still exist in South East

The same cultures that existed in Yoruba land, telling people not to go out in a particular time, telling people not to perform one specific religion/views in a state

We have a lot of issue in Nigeria currently, but cultural diversity and segregation is one of the biggest

wahala for who dey kill monkey oo

Good one from the indigenes.

Pepper soup

Ebi npa wa oooo. The monkey meat would have lasted the billionaire at least 1 month.

They should free the guy. Better than commiting suicide, selling kids or shooting his kid.

But why

Mad o

b

Awka indigenous people understand there's hunger in the land and decided to show mercy. The man should be allowed to eat his game in peace, and come back to appease the land, that meat must not waste.

Hunger dey town. The man seems hungry.

Snake in the monkey shadow

Free the man. It wasn't deliberate and he seems remorseful.

Am glad they listen to his plead since it wasn't intentional.

Smh

Please don't jungle the guy ooo
Na hunger cause am

Forbidden in Awka.

It is a taboo in the land to kill monkeys. The man knows that as obviously he is from there. Even if he is not from Awka, he knows that it is a taboo. That’s why he appealed for forgiveness.

In awka you don't kill monkeys


He's even lucky in the past you'll be lynched sef

Please don't jungle the guy ooo
Na hunger cause am
So sad for him killing his replica

The money looks like APC supporters

Wickedness. Monkeys are sub human

Hunger everywhere.

Culture still dey sha
Lucky him that he was not killed

olaiya2007:

Monkey that we use to eat in my village, a very sweet meat

They should pass a by law for killing animals
If not this thing are fasting going into extinction

What are they gonna charge him for? Murder? 😂

They will even collect money from the man in the of appealing the gods and eventually the money will be use to drink kainkain.

Anyways,

Monkey wey no hear word. If it got into the trap, so be it
