The women alleged incessant arrest in their villages by Baby Oku and further alleged that three of their sons were arrested during the festive period and taken to an unknown place.
According to them, those arrested were the Youth President, Mr Chinedu Uguta, his Deputy, Mr Paul Chukwu and his Personal Assistant, Mr Amechi Nweke.
The women and youths, including their family members while gathering in the Amudo Community condemned the alleged high-handedness of Baby Oku and the atrocities he has been allegedly causing in the Amudo Community.
The protesters were carrying placards with the following inscriptions: Baby Oku release our Children, Son, Husband and Brothers from an unknown place. Baby Oku has destroyed Amudo. Enough of Baby Oku's rascality. Baby Oku allow Amudo to breathe. Say no to Baby Oku's suppression. Stop infringing on Amudo people's fundamental human rights.
Our Correspondent gathered that Chief Orogwu allegedly wanted to single-handedly install their new traditional ruler and even dissolved the town union executives, which the community rejected.
A source said that Baby Oku started arresting and harassing anyone who went contrary to his wish, thinking that he would use his money to achieve it.
"We have told him that he cannot impose any candidate on the community even with his money, let him release those he arrested," the source said.
Speaking on behalf of the protesters, Mrs. Veronica Nwite said the protest was to demand the urgent release of children he took to an unknown destination.
She also said their children are running out of the community because of fear of being arrested by so-called Baby Oku.
We are also calling all relevant authorities to call Baby Oku to order because he is not bigger than the community.
"We no longer sleep in our homes, and we want the government to intervene by immediate release of our children who had been in detention," she said.
