Ohafia Women, Youths Protest Against Orji Uzor Kalu, Tensions Rise at Police Zone 9

Tension gripped Umuahia, Abia State, as women and youths from Ohafia Local Government Area staged a protest at the Police Zone 9 Headquarters against Senator Orji Uzor Kalu. The demonstrators accused the former Abia State governor of betrayal and stigmatization, alleging that during the 2023 elections he labeled Ohafia an “IPOB zone,” a claim they say resulted in military presence, intimidation, and voter harassment in their community. Protesters also expressed frustration over what they described as a lack of visible development projects in Ohafia, particularly roads and healthcare infrastructure, despite the senator representing Abia North in the National Assembly. In a dramatic escalation, some protesters declared the lawmaker persona non grata in Ohafia and vowed to withhold electoral support in the 2027 general elections. The protest was marked by strong emotions, with chants reflecting deep anger over political representation and community concerns. Security operatives reportedly deployed teargas to disperse the crowd as the situation grew tense. Shortly after the declaration banning the senator, the Council of Ohafia Monarchs issued a statement nullifying the action, citing constitutional rights to freedom of movement. However, the intervention did not immediately calm public dissatisfaction. The incident raises broader questions about political accountability, community representation, and rising grassroots activism ahead of the 2027 elections.
