A lady was reportedly compelled to bathe in the same water she used to clean her late husband’s corpse as part of an age-old practice to prove she had no role in his death.

This was discovered in a post made on X, formerly Twitter, which indicated that the practice has been around for generations.

In some situations, women may be forced to drink the water as additional proof of their innocence.

Following the release of a video depicting the conduct, concerned folks crowded the comment area to express their opinions.

See some reactions below:

@sunfloweryetty: “The fact that it’s women that are upholding and enforcing the useless practice says a lot why it’s difficult to abolish totally, some women just derived pleasure and fulfilment in humiliating fellow women . If all the women says no to the practice, the men will back off.”

@OyinNAdun: “Na part of Nigeria be this? Na nollywood lamba I Dey call am oo… Nawa.”

@dj2plus_: “These are people who have the audacity to trash other ethnics beautiful culture ? while their culture and traditions at home is like that of svbhuman.”

@olat187: “Lol. Expatriate to bring civilisation to the bush primitive people.”

@AigbokhanEjiehi: “The saddest part of this hideous tradition is that it is fellow women “bathing her.” This needs to be abolished. Putting women who just lost their husbands through this humiliation is inhumane. Nothing Concern me Abeg.”

@Gocceal: “There’s a punishment for promiscuity in every society globally. Igbos, make you prove your innocence in the death through so many ways. Regrettably, this is one of the means in this village. It doesn’t represent the practice of all the Igbos.”

@adex_smithjr: “You wondered why their women celebrate being married to Yoruba and other ethnic group. Because they know they’re forever free from the bondage of this barbarism.”

@osamuyi90: “My annoyance with Igbos is they will leave southeast and be debating the problems in other cultures, imagine in Igbo land they still practice outcast system till tomorrow but yet none will boldly talk about it but very loud if it is from other ethnic groups very weird.”
