Anambra Masquerade Burnt to Death During Cultural Festival by Agbo2(op): 4:47pm On Mar 01, 2022

An unidentified man has burnt to death while trying to pull a stunt in a masquerader attire in Anambra State.

Our correspondent gathered that the incident happened at Ogbunike, during the Eli’m Ede Cultural Festival, on Saturday.

The Eli’m Ede Festival is an annual event, where masqueraders of various sizes and shapes gather at the village square to entertain indigenes.

An eyewitness said the masquerader attendants, while leading the masquerader to Amawa Square to entertain the waiting spectators, had pulled a fire stunt in front of the masquerader, which was sitting on the ground, but immediately extinguished it.

He said, “After they extinguished the fire, unknown to the attendants, the fire had entered the raffia costume worn by the masquerader, and before they could put it off, it spread all over the masquerade and burnt the masquerader.”

It was learnt that the masquerader, who sustained serious burns, was rushed to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead on Monday evening.

Don't put your trust on charms and amulets. This is how it usually disappoint those who so much believe in them

I don't think he relied on any charm.
That's why the gun powder was kept some distance away.
You will notice the guys were scared right from the start.

I wonder why this is making me laugh. Anyhow that's a very preventable death. They were really foolish to play with fire knowing well enough the kind of costume he wore.
