The
villagers led by their traditional ruler, His Majesty, Eze Eri (Ezeora
34th & Aka Ji Ovo Igbo) gathered at the Omabala river in Aguleri
where prayers were said before the spiritual cleansing began.
The
festival which has been celebrated for many years by the Ezeora kings
on the 8th native month of the year is in memory of the Eri's journey
and his subsequent settlement.
