The government of Enugu State has condemned the death of two residents of the state following an attack by ‘Oriokpa’ masquerades in Nsukka. In a statement issued by the state's Commissioner for Local Government, Rural Development and Chieftaincy Affairs, Okey Ogbodo, a probe has been launched into the activities of masquerades and its likes in the state.
Also vowing to bring the perpetrators to book, Ogbodo said the state governor, Peter Mbah, and stakeholders in Enugu including traditional leaders are to meet on Friday in his office to discuss ways to curb the excesses of the masquerades. He said some of the affected communities include Edem-Ezema, Nguru, Nru, Iheagu, Ihe, Isiakpu, Owere, Umuoyo and Echara. The reaction by the state government follows protests by some women from Eha-Alumona, a community in Nsukka LGA.
