Fear Grips Ebonyi Community As 200-Year-Old Tree Seen As A Deity Falls



Residents of 7b, Nnorom Street, Ntezi-Aba, Abakaliki couldn’t believe their eyes at the weekend when they discovered that the 200-year-old tree most of them worshipped had fallen without any visible force causing its fall.
The big tree had been a worship centre for some residents, while others had described it as a deity responsible for the protection of the people of the area. Sacrifices were offered at the tree, and it also served as a bus-stop for passengers leaving Ebonyi or going into the State.
When the tree fell, a 12-bungalow building was destroyed. Mr. Sunday Eze, owner of the destroyed building called on the state government to quickly come to their aid by removing the tree and possibly assist them with basic amenities and reconstruction work.
