The Eziowelle community in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State has described as " laughable and false" the allegation that the community collects one million naira to bury the dead in their place.
Speaking to newsmen yesterday in the Igwe 's Palace both the traditional ruler, Igwe Michael Okonkwo Etusi and the President General, Hon.Titus. N Akpudo, said the allegation that the community collects one million naira before they bury deaf person was not only false but still part of campaign of calumny against the winners of the election of new executives of the community held last weekend.
Igwe OKONKWO ETUSI who expressed shock at the level of mischief of some people in the community just because they wanted power at all cost said the only levy paid in the community by the relations of the dead was the N3,000 annual development and security levy if the person was owing it before his death. He emphatically stated that clearance for public functions in Eziowelle starts from EIU branches and Age Grades level before getting to the EIU National Secretariat for final clearance.
