Osun Masqueraders, Muslims Reach Truce Ahead Of Egungun Festival by hisexcellency34(op): 11:44am On Jul 14, 2023
The Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mr Kehinde Longe, has brokered peace between the Chief Imam of the Kamaudeen Mosque, Osogbo, Alhaji Kasim Yunis, and the custodian of a masquerade, Chief Kayode Esuleke, as the annual Egungun masquerade holds in the town.

A statement issued in Osogbo on Thursday, signed by the command’s spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, said the two men agreed to allow peace reign during the festival at a meeting held at the instance of the CP.

Members of the Kamaudeen Mosque and the followers of Esuleke masquerade had a history of dangerous clashes, the last one being the bloody fight of Sunday, June 27, 2021, which led to the death of a member of the mosque, while nine others were injured.

To prevent a reoccurrence, Longe, who harped on the need to embrace peace at the meeting, also warned that the command would not condone any act that could lead to a breach of public peace.

The statement further read, “The Commissioner of Police, Osun State Command, Patrick K. Longe, held a strategic security meeting with the masquerade custodian, Pa Esuleke, and the Chief Imam of the Kamaudeen Mosque, Oke Baale, Osogbo, Alhaji Kasim Yunis.

“CP restated that he will not condone anything that will cause the breach of peace in anyway.

Even for Osun State, they have to take permission from their slave masters before they embark on their traditional festivals?


Wow 😳! The west seems to be completely captured, not just Illorin.

Illorin is the slave master's capital, that is why they banned it completely.

grin Hehehe! No religious harmony among the so called united SW multi-secular religious groups until police intervene. Meanwhile, it remains Alimi and the caliphate final approval. Fingers crossed.

Ironically, the Catholic Church is more receptive of masquerades. Masquerades are not exclusive to idol worshipping.

During the Ordinations of Catholic Priests in the South East, it is very common seeing masquerades during the occasion because Seminarians themselves also get garbed in masquerade apparels and Priests dance with masquerades at events. It is the rogue ones who uses masquerading to commit atrocities, that many are against .......so don't show off ignorance. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

So much for religious harmony.
We all know that this truce is temporary. Once the Muslims gather more strength, the egungun festival will be banned forever and no baskart will open his mouth to scream ronu.
