Islamic Cleric’s Death: Masquerade Vanishes From Police Cell! by Boyoorisha: 8:04am On Feb 01, 2013
There were strong indications yesterday, that the masquerade that allegedly shot dead an Islamic cleric, Lateef Amusa, in Ijaye area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital during Egungun festival had vanished into thin air.
State Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye, told newsmen at the Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, that contrary to media report that the masquerade was part of those arrested, the Command did not have the masquerade, known as ‘Leyin Aponle,’ in its custody.
It would be recalled that Amusa was reportedly killed by a masquerade during Egungun festival, which led to the burning down of the masquerade’s family house.
The Police Command had said it had arrested four suspects, including a masquerade over the death of Amusa .
However, while parading 16 suspects for various offences, the Commissioner said only three persons had been arrested.
He said: “As an African, no one can arrest Egungun, only human beings that commit offences that are arrested. We don’t have masquerade in our custody. We have arrested human beings and they would be charged to court after investigation.”
But, when Vanguard interviewed Ajani Olabimtan, one of the suspects paraded by the police for the alleged murder, he claimed the masquerade was a Lagos based bus conductor and had run away after the incident.
According to him, “the masquerade was my boy. I am a transporter in Lagos and I followed Kazeem to Abeokuta to celebrate the festival. He has run away.
In fact, I came to tell the police about the incident before I was arrested. It was not the masquerade that killed the man. It was done by some cultists who rammed into our procession.”
”Meanwhile, the police paraded six alleged kidnappers, three armed robbers, five suspected murders and two burglars.

The entire police on duty should be questioned,it shows lack of competency,or bribery. Nigeria police,and their stories. Wait,is this peculiar to Nigeria police alone,or all over the world?- I mean their incompetency.

OP, abeg modify your misleading topic since the masquerade was not taken to the cell in the first place. I didn't see anything suggesting that the masquerade vanished in the post.
Naija police sef, I'm sure some of the suspects paraded were just onlookers

That's what i've been saying. Yoruba Muslims are not really peaceful like most Nigerians think. People like this masquerade help keep the peace in the south-west. It's not like Muslim fanatics don't try to invade and destroy traditional shrines but they normally die miserably in a way that shows their predicament is a repercussion of their actions against the African deity. The calmness and tolerance shown by the yoruba muslim can be directly linked to the African deity. The African deity creates a sense of mutual fear, thus we enjoy an atmosphere of mutual respect.

Masquerade has become someone's boy. So what do we call the masquerade's master?

You must be very stupid and daft with an imbecilic grey matter called brain.So you can arrest a spirit and detain it and it later vanishes after some weeks or days in custody?Do u see ur sense of reasoning?No wonder we have so much gullible Nigerians and the govt having a field day.idiota

Your words are not only contradictory but incomprehensible,You said in your eralier statement that''Yoruba Muslims are not really peaceful like most Nigerians think'' and later you concluded it by saying that again''The calmness and tolerance shown by the yoruba muslim can be directly linked to the African deity''then it means something is really wrong with You,the god of Atheism has afflicted you with a disease that distorts the workings of the brain,and You better repent before you slipped finally into the world of oblivion.

lack of comprehension is terrible. it is quite clear that:
1. the masquerade was never actually arrested and therefore could not have disappeared from his cell.
2. when the dpo said egungun cannot be arrested he meant that the person to be arrested is the person who dressed up as a masquerade. that is to say that if Kayode dressed up as a masquerade and then killed someone, then kayode and not the masquerade would be arrested because there is no such legal entity as a masquerade.

but go on and ignore the obvious truth because yu think it makes you sound smart and witty.
