There was pandemonium, yesterday, in Awka when a middle-aged woman escaped death at Ezu River, where over 23 mystery corpses were found few months ago.
.
The woman, Ms. Peace Nnabuife, from Ezeoye, Nibo in Awka South Local Government of the state, had entered the river on a "spiritual journey" when she suddenly slipped and almost drowned.
.
Some young men, using canoe, were said to have gone to the river bank to perform some sacrifices when they saw the drowning woman and helped her.
.
They were leaving when her N500 fell into the river.
.
She went for the money and got swept off by the river. Roots of trees were said to have stopped her from being taken away by the river.
.
She said: "I came here so that Ezu River will carry me to Nibo. We travel through rivers to our meeting place in the depth of the river, where our queen's kingdom is.
