Keep. Undoubtedly the article, as it currently is, is poorly sourced. However, a search around reveals two academic sources on the topic:

-Igbafe, Philip A. (July 1971). "Western Ibo Society and its Resistance to British Rule: The Ekumeku Movement 1898–1911". The Journal of African History. 12 (3). Cambridge University Press: 441–459. doi:10.1017/S0021853700010872.;

-Ohadike, Don C. (1991). The Ekumeku Movement: Western Igbo Resistance to the British Conquest of Nigeria, 1883-1914. Ohio University Press. ISBN 978-0821409855.

and general coverage of the topic in a number of other books via the 'Find sources: books' link above.

So verifiable, notable and reliable sources but the article is in need of some improvement. --Malcolmxl5 (talk)

Found another academic source: Iweze, Daniel Olisa (2016). "The Role of Indigenous Collaborators during the Anglo-Ekumeku War of 1898-1911". Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies. 39 (1). University of California: 90–97. doi:10.5070/F7391029819. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:07, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Now it has sources, the basis of this AFD has disappeared. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:03, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Subject is notable. Sources exist. Article needs inline sources but WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:35, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per Malcolmxl5, the subject clearly passes WP:V; WP:NPOV and WP:NOR are a matter of cleanup. Smmurphy^(Talk) 13:21, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
