The activities of masquerades in Ogbodu-Aba, Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu State, popularly known as “Akatakpa” have been unanimously banned with immediate effect, following a meeting between Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the traditional ruler and other stakeholders of the community, at the Government House, Enugu, on Monday.

The meeting which was convened at the instance of Gov. Ugwuanyi, was aimed at resolving all lingering issues in the community since the election of the traditional ruler, HRH Igwe Peter Ejeh, in 2008.

Announcing the outcome of the meeting, the Permanent Secretary and Chief Administrative Officer to the Governor, Barr. Emma Ugwu, stated that “all warring factions in Ogbodu-Aba community have agreed to work together, withdraw all court matters and support their traditional ruler, HRH Igwe Peter Ejeh, in the spirit of peace and reconciliation, after eleven (11) years of misunderstanding”.

Barr. Ugwu added that after “the activities of ‘Akatakpa’ masquerades in Ogbodu-Aba were reviewed at the meeting, it was unanimously agreed that the masquerades be banned in the community with immediate effect”.

That's an infringement to his "freedom of movement"
Your people doesn't have the moral justification to call Buhari a tyrant. Tyranny is a timed bomb living inside everybody, it get ignited when time the reaches.

Hmm masquerade or wahala

Who e ep

The God's are not to blame on this one

Seems the gods are no longer wise since they started to dance gbe body dia

This is uncalled for.

Intrusion on the human right of the believers


In equity, he should have banned Christianity and Islam also.

Banned on what offense?

Is there no freedom of associations?

If the name of the masquerade reminds you of that controversial monicker in Nairaland named ....
Oga Kpatakpata

Nsukka people is the worse thing to ever happened to my beautiful enugu state

I wish u can express this ur point more, but all I can say from ur name u have a very low mind.

No reasonable thing to discuss I guess ....Akatakpa? can you imagine...when other governors are thinking towards smart-cities, the fat Enugu governor sat down to discuss about masquerade..local chief couldnt do it I guess..nor the local government chairman.

*spit*

akatapka masquerade at udenu and nsukka are very mad in discipline people,i remember when I was doing my nysc there 2013, this masquerade Cain me with stick even when putting my nysc uniform begging me money when I refuse there now Cain me.

This guy's can be unusually rude.


Ladies need to look beautiful. Check my signature

I remember when as a corps member in Enugu state, a masquerade blocked our path and said the they must flog the female corper because she wore trousers and any female who wears trousers must not be seen by the masquerade.

We almost fought that day until the masquerade said corper you de vex o. Turns out they were our students

That boy fighting the masquerade is plain stupid,at his age he already has such braveness to fight someone bigger than he is,what if he grows us,i depise aggressive PPI, not to talk of a small boy like this,product of bad parenting.

Long overdue. Crossed the red line since 1900.
I still have fresh memory of how one akatakpa caused a fatal accident @ Obollo-Afor/Enugu - Ezike road in 2006.
They're now using it to intimidate people, extort money from innocent travelers. It should be for entertainment and celebration of culture.

Imoh Awka masquerade is another one that needs to be checked by the government.
