On Sunday morning in the Shikal hamlet of Langtang South Local Government in Plateau State, some unidentified masqueraders broke into a church.
The churchgoers fled for safety when the masquerades, who were dressed in traditional garb, disrupted the ceremony by flogging the congregation members viciously and breaking musical instruments and other church property.
When contacted, DSP Alfred Alabo, the spokesman of the Plateau State Police Command, confirmed the incident but did not give any further information.
According to him, “The DPO of the area has confirmed that it is true, they are working on the situation and the area is calm. He said masquerades went to a Church and disrupted their activities. The investigation is ongoing, we will give full details when we have them.”
