Thought there are no specific sponsors of the protest, sources said the protest would attract government attention.

Meanwhile, an indigene of the state, Ude Uzochukwu who reacted to the protest said: “Be honest. Just be honest, if Mohbad had died through a road accident or chronicle illness would you have planned a candle night in Awka?

“When MC Loph died did you do a candle night for him in Owerri? When Muna Obiekwe died did you do a Candle night for him in Awka?

“It’s time we stop this madness and social bandwagon. This rubbish must stop and at once. Everything is not activism. Can you give the public one reason for this proposed candle night in Awka? Just one tangible reason.”
