Teaming up with the monarch were several elders like Nze Christopher Onuorah, 89, and Pa Davidson Okeke, 85, among others. Priests equally joined the protest, as did women and youths.
The community said the timely intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari by sending a security team after their petition prevented a bloody clash with the encroaching neighbours.
