The Police in Nsukka on Saturday arrested two men in
masquerade costume in Ovoko Community, Nsukka LGA, Enugu State, for allegedly
beating up a passenger on a commercial motorcycle and robbing him of N57,000.
A police source said policemen moved to the scene when the
victim, Mr. Chinonso Ezewaji, reported the matter to Nsukka Police Area command
and the two men were arrested.
“The escorts of the masquerade however ran away.
“There were eight masquerades. They blocked the
Nsukka/Obollo-Afor road and harassed people.
“The two arrested masquerades however denied collecting the
N57,000 from the man but claimed they know the person who collected the money
from the victim.
“When we searched one of the arrested masquerade, we saw
Indian hemp in his pocket,” the police source said.
