Masquerades are not ordinary human beings, some people
believe culturally they are from heaven, that is why they are being called Ara Orun i.e people from heavenly
realms. Once or twice in a year masquerade festivals are celebrated by the
faithful.
I am not surprised when policemen arrested some masquerades
for robbery, you may want to ask what is the correlation between masquerade
festivity and criminality. Youths that are jobless and hopeless seize the
opportunities of the festival to rob innocent passersby.
Government should either ban or strictly regulated
activities of hoodlums under the guise of celebrating masquerade festival.
Those arrested should be made to face the full wrath of the law, something is
not clear here, will the masquerade appear in court with his coverings or
people will see who is under the regalia when the culprits appears in court.
