People of Aguleri community in Anambra state gathered in their numbers to undergo a spiritual cleansing in commemoration of the 2016 Olili Obibia Eri (Eri Festival).
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.
