“I was travelling to our queen’s kingdom,” says woman rescued from drowning in Anambra

Luck shone on a woman in Anambra State
yesterday after she was rescued from
drowning by good samaritans.
The woman, identified as Peace Nnabuife, had
visited the Ezu River in Awka, the state
capital, with the intention of making a
"spiritual journey" but as she stepped in, she
lost her footing and almost drowned.
Ms. Nnabuife who hails from Ezeoye, Nibo in
Awka South Local Government of the state was
reportedly rescued by some young men who
were in a canoe on the same river performing
sacrifices.
They were leaving when her N500 fell into the
river. She went for the money and got swept
off by the river. Roots of trees were said to
have stopped her from being taken away by
the river.

She said: "I came here so that Ezu River will
carry me to Nibo. We travel through rivers to
our meeting place in the depth of the river,
where our queen's kingdom is.
"I came with cellophane bag and I had N500
in it. The N500 fell into the river as the water
carried me."
Asked where she was going for the meeting,
she said, "we hold our meetings at Ezu Agulu
and I am still in the junior category."
