Protests in Enugu State intensified after the alleged police murder of local musician Okezie Chiekezie Mbah known as Igbo Jah, prompting the arrest of the involved inspector and a thorough investigation.
Enugu police spokesperson Daniel Ndukwe confirmed the probe as hundreds of residents violently demonstrated, attempting to set the anti-cult headquarters ablaze.
Protesters blocked roads, burned tires, and chanted slogans in Onu Asata and other areas, using smoke as a symbol of outrage.
Police deployed teargas to disperse the crowd, escalating tensions. The community demands accountability for Igbo Jah’s death, with local authorities urging calm.
