Akwa Ibom – Police in Akwa Ibom have banned the activities of masquerades across the state.

The state police command Public Relations Officer, SP Odiko Macdon, said the ban became necessary following violent and lawless actions of masqueraders, leading to murders, threats to live, assaults and other breaches of fundamental rights.

“A case in point is the `EKONG’ in Mbak Ikot Abasi and Mbak Ikot Idiongo Villages in Mbak Etoi in Etoi Clan, Uyo,’’ he stated.

The police also scrapped a curfew imposed by masquerades in Mbak Ikot Abasi and Mbak Ikot Idiongo villages in Mbak Etoi in Etoi Clan, Uyo.

According to the police spokesman, the curfew imposed by the masquerade infringed on the fundamental rights of the people to freedom of association and movement.

“This has become an imperative sequel to the violent and lawless actions of most of these masquerades leading to murders, threats to lives, assaults and other breaches to fundamental human rights,” the statement said.

Similarly, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Olatoye Durosinmi warned that anyone who flouted the ban would face the wrath of the law.

He equally advised law-abiding citizens to go about their activities without fear of molestation. ( ChannelsTV / vitalnewsngr.com)
