As human rights activists and organizations intensify efforts to abolish Osu, Ohu, Ume and Diala Caste systems in the South-East part of Nigeria, another two communities of Amurie Omanze and Oboro Amurie in Isu local government area of Imo State have also set January 4, 2024, to abrogate what they called the appalling, disgusting, detestable, repulsive, reprehensible and repugnant caste systems that marginalise a section of the people regarding them as outcasts.

A statement by the executive director of Pillars of Hope Africa Initiative (POHAI), Mrs. Chinyere Oge-Kalu, said the abolishment of Osu, Ohu, Ume and Diala Caste systems in the two communities was a fruit of years of advocacy by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), POHAI, G’naira Family Foundation (GFF) and Kemdi Chino Opera Foundation (KCOF).

 

She expressed confidence that more communities, the entire Imo State and Igboland will soon abolish these reprehensible caste systems, which dehumanise fellow compatriots as slaves/outcastes.
