Management and students of Alvan Ikoku Federal College, Owerri are in tensed mood at the moment following the visit of the Owerri Chief Priest over the alleged killing of Eke Nworie
Trumpeta learnt that panic has enveloped the entire complex with students and managing expressing fear about the rumoured consequences of the death of Eke Nworie.
Since the Chief Priest Visited the scene to make expressions, staff and students are panic stricken and afraid of the consequences of the visit.
Reports have it that the Chief Priest of Owerre (Onye Ishi Ala), Reginald Ejiogu on Monday, stormed the Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, AIFCE, Owerri, with an \u2018Omu\u2019 signaling danger ahead for students and management of the citadel of learning, over the killing of an ancestral python, called Eke Nworie
Recently students of the institution had killed the gigantic python, an act considered a sacrilege, within the norms and tradition of Owerre.
The Chief Priest had emphasized on the need for cleansing, to avert occurrence of strange incidents over the murder of the ancestral python.
In a letter to the management of Alvan, the Chief Priest, demanded that \u201cthe College management must appear before him (the Chief Priest) for cleansing upon receipt of the Notice on or before seven days\u201d
He noted that the murder of the python \u201cis a sacrilege and violation of our culture more especially in this time of our festival season which is our week of peace\u201d
A similar incident had occurred between 1979-1980 during the construction of Wethedral\/Christ Church Road, Owerri, when some foreign contractors killed the \u201cEke Ala Owerre\u201d python, the forebearer of the \u201cEke Nworie\u201d python killed by students of Alvan.
An attendant to the Chief Priest reveals that \u201cWhen the foreign contractors killed the Eke Ala Owerre python, strange things began to occur. There were mysterious deaths among the contractors. There were breakdown of their machines.
\u201cAt a stage, they abandoned the road project, until they were cleansed by the then Chief Priest of Owerre, (Onye Ishi Ala Owerre), Late Eke Igwe Nwoduo Ejiogu
He continued \u201cThe management of ALVAN think this is a joke. This is a spiritual matter, and they seem not to understand the gravity of killing that ancestral python
\u201cThe consequences are monumental, devastating because the land has been descreated. And it must be cleansed immediately.
\u201cYou do not kill Eke Nworie python. It is not done. It is a sacrilege with serious consequences that are just to terrible to mention.
\u201cThis is why the Chief Priest had to come here today (at Alvan) to put this \u2018Omu\u2019 which signifies danger ahead. No one should blame us if strange things begin to happen.
\u201cOnly the Chief Priest, no one else, is spiritually fit to do the cleansing and not anyone else\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
