The incident claimed many lives and left dozens<br \/>\nwounded while property worth millions of naira were destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Mercy Nwali, who spoke on behalf of the women, said the crux of<br \/>\nthe protest was to demand urgent and amicable resolution of the matter<br \/>\nas their lives and that of their family members had been in danger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we demand is that all of them should come home so that we make<br \/>\npeace. They shouldn\u2019t be in town here and be terrorizing us in the<br \/>\nvillage.

Stanley Okoro to<br \/>\n pacify the women to vacate the government house gate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, you are our mothers. Our Governor was not happy to see you<br \/>\n in this way and mood. So, whatever is the problem, I assure you, it<br \/>\nwill be resolved not later than today,\u201d said Hon. Emegha, who cut short<br \/>\nhis 2020 fiscal year budget defense at the state House of Assembly to<br \/>\nrush to the scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we want is peace. We are tired of running away from our home.<br \/>\nWe want the governor to help us, release our children from detention\u201d<br \/>\nthe protesting women cried.<\/p>\n<p>The commissioner assured them that government will ensure that their demand are given immediate attention.<\/p>\n<p>He urged them to go home and be assured that government is determined to returning permanent peace in the area.<\/p>\n<p>However, the women bluntly refused to collect money released to them  nor enter the bus provided by the government to convey them back to  Agubia Community.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Lindaikeji<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 100 women between 50 and 80 years of age from Agubia Community in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State stripped naked, in protest of the arrest of their children by security agents operating in the state.
