Hordes of naked Kokori
women in Ethiope East Local
Government Area of Delta
State trooped to the streets
on Sunday afternoon in
protest of the recent siege
on the community by
soldiers of the Joint Task
Force (JTF).
The women, numbering well
over hundred, expressed
their grievances in the
manner that their husbands
have fled the community due
to the military operation that
followed the arrest of highly
wanted criminal, Kelvin
Oniarah.
The soldiers were deployed
to the community after
Friday’s attack on the palace
of the Ovie of Agbon
Kingdom, HRM Ogurimerime
Ukori 1 by armed youths
believed to belong to
Oniarah’s kidnap gang.
During the protest, the
women sang mournful
songs about the fate of
Kokori, saying the soldiers,
having prevented their
husbands from returning
home, should come and
sleep with them and perform
all other duties of their
husbands.
