Pandemonium broke out Sunday afternoon at the Popoyemoja area of Ibadan, as hoodlums took over the proceedings of a major masquerade, Abidielege, immediately after they left the palace of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, located in the area.
As the masquerade approached idi-Arere junction, some street boys said to be based at the junction engaged in a fight with another rival gang escorting the masquerade.
However, an hour after the masquerade had left the scene, mobile policemen were still busy keeping the hoodlums at bar from Idi-Arere, Isale-Ijebu and Oja’ba axis.
