masquerades<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Olubadan ordered police to make adequate provision for security coverage for masquerades and their supporters during festival<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<hr \/>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, has lifted the suspension order placed on the annual Egungun festival in Ibadan due to a spate of violence recorded last week in two different places within the metropolis.<\/p>\n<p>This was contained in the press statement made available to journalists in Ibadan on Friday by the Personal Assistant (Media) to Olubadan, Oladele Ogunsola in which it was stated that the suspension was lifted after rapprochement between the Olubadan Palace and the heads of masquerades (Alaagbaas) in the land.<\/p>\n<p>Following this development, a letter, according to the press release has been sent to the Oyo State Police Commissioner, requesting the Command to make adequate provision for security coverage for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/06\/25\/festival-oyo-police-warns-masqueraders-others-against-security-breach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">masquerades<\/a> and their supporters, stressing that there has been peaceful accord between the palace and the Alaagbaas adherents.<\/p>\n<p>The letter to the CP reads further, \u201cFollowing this development, His Imperial Majesty therefore seeks for your esteemed cooperation by ensuring adequate security coverage for the masquerades and their supporters just as an order is also given that whoever engages in any act of violence must not be allowed to go scot free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis Imperial Majesty reiterates his zero tolerance for any form of brigandage or violence in the course of the celebration of the festival and at all times\u201d, the statement added.<\/p>\n<p>It would be recalled that Olubadan wielded the big stick owing to occurrences of violence, but, had to be lenient with the adherents in view of the importance of the festival to the metropolis with a stern warning that any masquerade found formenting trouble would face total ban.<\/p>\n<p>The Alaagbaas, who pleaded with Olubadan to temper justice with mercy insisted that none of the violence that occurred was as a result of rivalry between opposing masquerades, but were caused by hoodlums, hiding under the cover of the festival to attack innocent residents and loot shops.<\/p>\n<p>They (Alaagbaas) appealed to the security agents to be more committed to the safety of lives and property of the people, saying, \u201cwe don\u2019t believe or engage in violence as admonished by our revered monarch and we pledge our cooperation with the security agents not to interfere in their line of duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet them arrest whoever is found causing trouble and any of us that shows up with a view to secure bail for such identified and arrested criminal should be detained alongside the culprit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The suspension was lifted after rapprochement between the Olubadan Palace and the heads of masquerades Olubadan ordered police to
