A native of Ezima village in Isiala Mbano Local
Government Area of Imo State, Mr. Charles
Ikegwuruka, has been driven in a wheelbarrow
into exile in his maternal home, Isu, in the same
local government.
Charles was sent into exile for dragging his
younger brother, Mr. Osiwu Ikegwuruka, to the
dreaded Okija shrine (also called
Ogwugwummiri Okija) in Ihiala Local
Government Area of Anambra State.
Narrating his ordeal to Southern City News,
Charles (in his mid-50s) said his brother
(Osiwu) accused him of making his wife
(names withheld) barren.
It was gathered that Charles had consulted a
native doctor, who told him that a woman in his
family had a “marine husband and child” and
would not be able to bear children.
The native
doctor directed that the woman be brought to
the shrine for cleansing.
Charles, according to a source, later went to
Osiwu and told him what the native doctor said
and Osiwu agreed to convince his wife to go for
the cleansing.
“On the day of the cleansing, the native doctor
took them to a river, killed a goat and strangled
a fowl. He made incantations an ordered her to
strip naked for a bathe in the river.
Osiwu and
Charles were there and watched her perform as
instructed,” it was gathered.
It was, however, learnt that the cleansing failed
to cure the barrenness; instead it led a crisis
between Charles and Osiwu.
Southern City News gathered that the conflict
was heightened when Osiwu received a letter
from the Okija shrine, at the instance of
Charles, summoning him and his wife to visit
the shrine to swear an oath.
Osiwu reported the development to his kinsmen,
who ordered Charles to withdraw the matter
from Okija shrine.
But Charles told the elders
that the shrine refused to approve that the
matter be withdrawn.
Charles’ kinsmen immediately resolved that he
must ride on a wheelbarrow with palm fronds
tied around his neck to his maternal home and
stay there until he withdrew the matter lodged
before the dreaded Okija shrine.
“Our son (Charles) has committed sacrilege.
We
can’t finish resolving a matter and still take it to
a shrine, coupled with other atrocities Charles
has been committing,” one of the kinsmen, who
chose not to mentioned, said
