The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has apprehended a man named David Effiong for allegedly creating a public disturbance while dressed in full masquerade attire, despite the state government’s ongoing ban on such displays, according to The PUNCH.
Effiong was taken into custody on Tuesday after local residents reported that he was causing a nuisance and damaging property in the community.
Police Commissioner CP Baba Azare confirmed the arrest, stating that Effiong will face charges in court once the investigation is complete.
This incident occurs as authorities ramp up enforcement of Governor Umo Eno’s statewide prohibition on masquerade displays, a measure implemented in response to increasing incidents of intimidation, violence, and property destruction associated with masqueraders.
