Ogun State police have confirmed
the arrest of four suspects, including
a masquerade after a Muslim cleric;
Lateef Amusa was shot dead in Ijaye,
Abeokuta on Monday.
The masquerade popularly known
as, Leyin Aponle is believed to be the
one who pulled the trigger during
the celebrations of the annual
Egungun Festival in Ijaye.
According to reports, Amusa, 30,
ignored the earlier warning from the
masquerade to disembark from the
motorbike shortly before the
incident occurred.
The killing enraged members of his
group, who retaliated by setting the
family house of the masquerade on
fire.
They also removed the
masquerader’s costume which they
dragged to the street entrance and
burnt then destroyed other bits and
pieces.
Following the incident, the Alake of
Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo,
placed a halt on the 17-day annual
Egungun Festival.
The Police Public Relations Officer,
Muyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the
arrests of four suspects, said the
Commissioner of Police,
Ikemefuna Okoye, had ordered a
investigation into the matter and the
suspects would be charged to court
as soon as investigations into the
matter were concluded.
