Idemili clan is a conglomeration of 19 towns that make up the present Idemili North and Idemili South Local Government Areas of Anambra State. Nigerian Tribune gathered that in Idemili clan, people worship pythons to the extent that it is a taboo to harm or kill the snake. In a situation where the snake which goes by the name Eke Idemili, in the local parlance, is killed by someone, the wrath of the community where the incident took place is always brought to the person who committed the crime and he or she is compelled to accord the snake a befitting burial like that of human being.
