The Police boss stated that the residents, including the indigenes were not comfortable with the masquerade coming to Lagos after a group boasted that they were coming to Lagos to unleash mayhem.

The CP played a video recording of Ajofia Masquerade performing rituals while declaring that they were coming to Lagos, which attracted the attention of security agencies over suspicion of their intentions of coming.

He explained that there has been an existing good relationships between the Igbo and other ethnic groups and Lagos State is working and accomodates everyone resident in the State.

He also stated that the Police would not like to see anything that will likely cause breach of public peace in the State and it was better to prevent it.

CP Olawale noted that every tribe has their own masquerade, operates within their tribe and knows what it entails to have such masquerade. He therefore, stated that Ajofia is an Igbo masquerade and it should not come to Lagos State, which is another tribe and may not understand the workings of the masquerade like Ndigbo.

The Police boss declared that Ajofia Masquerade is not allowed to come to Lagos State and he will do anything possible to ensure that the masquerade did not step its foot into the State.

He urged the Igbo Stakeholders at the meeting to warn the masquerade and its group, who he said were on the security agencies watch list and will be fished out over their alleged threats on the social media.|V!RAL V!D£O OF PAST0R DAUGHT£R M!STAK£NLY S£ND H£R NVD£ V!D£0 M£ANT F0R H£R BOYFR!END T0 CHURCH WHATSAPP CH0!R GR0UP|
