Police to investigate masquerade attack on Muslims in Osun

The police in Osun has vowed to thoroughly investigate the attack on some Muslim faithful at Kamorudeen Society Central Mosque in Osogbo, the state capital.

Recall that one person, Moshood Salawudeen, was shot dead while about 13 persons, including children, sustained gunshot injuries in a clash that ensued between masquerade worshipers in Osogbo and some Muslims on Sunday.

The police boss said there has not been any arrest so far while speaking on the current affairs program, Frank Talk in Osogbo on Tuesday.

He assured the members of the public to stay calm and trust police investigation.

Earlier, Muslim rights activist, Abdulganiy Sahid, on behalf of the Qamarudeen Society of Nigeria, on Monday has asked for the immediate arrest and prosecution of Chief Kayode Idowu Esuleke and others that participated in the crisis.

He said this in a press conference in Osogbo while asking the government to ensure proper investigation.
