Awgbu Man Defends Agaba Masquerade’s Actions as Police Confirm Arrest

An Awgbu indigene has defended the actions of the Agaba masquerade following a recent confrontation with Onowu Ugonabo, arguing that the incident was rooted in cultural disrespect. According to him, Ugonabo, who is also a traditionalist, should have known better than to challenge the Agaba masquerade, as it goes against the customs and traditions of their people.

He questioned why some individuals respect cultural practices like the Eyo Festival in Lagos but return home to undermine their own traditions. “We are from the same place, so I expected him to know better,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of the Agaba masquerade in connection with the incident, as investigations continue.
