The suspects were paraded along with a custodian of an Ibadan masquerade, known as Ogunmola Adenimodo, for allegedly destroyingsome vehicles at Ayeye area of Ibadan metropolis.

They were rounded up at Moniya in Akinyele Local Government Area of the state. Ibadan masquerade festival had always left on its trail tears, losses, violence, bloodshed and even death in some cases.

However, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Muhammed Katsina, insisted that the reign of terror and impunity would not continue.

While parading the suspects at the state Police headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan yesterday, the commissioner explained that the ambush squad of the command arrested the two members of a dangerous syndicate who specialized in duping unsuspecting members of the public.

According to him, the suspects, who were allegedly caught with human parts, always pretended to offer their victims spiritual assistance.

He said small pieces of human skull, hair, fake 900 dollars and some charms were found on the suspects.

While stating that the masquerade custodian had violated an earlier undertaking they made with the police, he said the police would not allow any individual or group to constitute a threat to public peace and order, especially during the on-going masquerade festival.

He vowed that other fleeing suspects would be arrested wherever they might be hiding.However, Sikiru denied the allegation that his supporters destroyed the vehicles, saying his masquerade was yet to go to town.

He added that since the police had not granted him permit to go out with his Masquerade, he marked the festival indoor.

We need death sentence for ritualists henceforth.

The police should ensure they monitor the suspects closely in their cell or else, the suspects might commit suicide and run away!

They are ritualist using masquerade as a cover up

Masquared has never brought any positive impact in their lives..tears,violence,destruction of property and sometimes death
Why not ban the so called festival.Must they wait till the law enforcement agency arrest these people before they do the needful
SMH
Don't know how some people think in this part of the world.

My dear, it is really worrisome. Ibadan has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. My people have become so desperate to get rich quick. As regards the masquerade violence across the state, the state government ought to be more proactive in dealing with offenders. Other states are using their cultural heritage to promote tourism, Ibadan is using hers' to promote violence.

Nawa ooo, nothing wey person no go see for this Country.......




#TEAM SCENT

Hope the masquerade goes to jail fully kited in its regalia...
