Moment Chinwe Owoh and other women searched for late Cynthia Okereke at her funeral
A video shows the moment some women at the burial ceremony of late actress Cynthia Okereke ran around the venue searching for the deceased.
The veteran actress sadly lost her life almost one year after she was kidnapped alongside actor Clemson Cornel Nonyelu, popularly known as ‘Agbogidi’ while filming in Enugu, last year.
In a video, some elderly female friends of the deceased including ace actress Chinwe Owoh were spotted running around in tears to search for the late actress, an act which was traced to an alleged Igbo traditional practice.

@ocha_dani said; “It’s actually an igbo tradition. Maybe some communities in your side decided to skip it so it’s not common in your area.”
