There is currently anger among Cross Riverians Governor Bassey Otu has reportedly demolished a historic monolith structure.
9News Nigeria correspondent in Cross River gathered it has been replaced with a statue of Jesus Christ as a shepherd leading his flocks.
Also, 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 among the people of Cross River as some have lambasted the Governor over his action.
