Moment Cross River Demolishes Historic Monolith, Replaces It With Statue Of Jesus
The Cross River Government, led by Governor Bassey Otu, has demolished a historic monolith structure.
Reports indicate that it has been replaced with a statue of Jesus Christ as a shepherd leading his flocks. Additionally, the flag of Israel has been hung on the staff of the statue.
The monolith, known as the Ikom monoliths, is part of a series of volcanic-stone monoliths from the area of Ikom. The Ejagham people are believed to have engraved the monoliths around 200 CE.
The monolith stands between 0.3 and 1.8 metres (1 and 6 feet) high and is laid out in some 30 circles located around Alok in the Ikom area of Cross River State.
This change has sparked mixed reactions on social media.
