Masquerades on Sunday morning invaded a Church in the Shikal community, Langtang South local government area of Plateau State and disrupted service as they flogged bewildered worshippers, destroying Church property.
It was gathered that the masquerades arrived at the Church premises while service was ongoing and started flogging worshippers as they scamper for safety.
The invaders later turned to the holy house’s musical instruments and other property and destroyed them.
However, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Alfred Alabo confirmed the incident but gave no details.
He said, “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 worship centre and disrupted their activities. The investigation is ongoing, we will give full details when we have them.”
Communal clashes between African Traditional Religion worshipers and the christian faith is not uncommon in Nigeria. Earlier in the year, the Lagos State Police Command were called to settle a confrontation between ‘Oro’ worshipers and a church, after a fight ensued over the mode of worship in the vicinity.
