Hell was let loose Monday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital after a masquerade allegedly shot dead an Islamic cleric identified as Lateef Sabiu during Egungun festival. This simultaneously led to a reprisal attack as youths allegedly razed down a building belonging to traditional worshippers in protest against the murder of one of their members. Vanguard gathered that the 22-year Islamic Cleric was allegedly shot dead Sunday evening while he was on a motorcycle popularly called Okada during a ‘stop and search’ in Ijaye. It was gathered that the masquerade popularly called “lehin Aponle” was allegedly armed with guns and other dangerous weapons. Confirming the incident Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Muyiwa Adejobi, told newsmen in Abeokuta that the Command had arrested three persons along with the masquerade over the murder of the late Cleric. Adejobi noted that the Command had suspended further activities of the year 2013 edition of masquerade festival in the state. According to Adejobi, “those we arrested in connection with the murder are one Ajayi Olabintan (40), Shittu Adeyemi, Wahed Babalola and the masquerade.” Also speaking over the matter, one of the community leaders, the Balogun of Ijaye and Aare of Egba land, Chief Ganiyu Babayeju-Alemo, said the crisis has forced the Egba Traditional Council to suspend other activities for the 2013 Egungun festival in Abeokuta. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/01/pandemonium-in-abeokuta-as-masquerade-kills-one/ |
