[size=14pt] Enugu: Masquerades strip 2 women for wearing trousers[/size] News Sunday, March 20, 2011 BY Tony Edike ENUGU – WOMEN in Aku community, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State are now living in fear, following violent attacks by Odo masqueraders, which stripped two women in broad day-light for allegedly wearing trousers. http://odili.net/news/source/2011/mar/20/302.html The scourge of the latest masquerade scare, which had raised security concern in parts of the state, according to sources, has become worse in Ugwunani village in Aku community, where a very dreaded Ocho-Oku diety linked to the Odo masquerade has been making life unbearable for residents, especially women. A native of Aku told newsmen, that one of the two women stripped, whose name could not be ascertained was a visitor and that she was attacked at Eke Aku by the masqueraders, which completely removed her blouse and compelled her to pay a ransom of N1,700 to regain her freedom for wearing trousers in the area during the period of the Odo masquerade celebration. |

What's so offensive about trousers or about women wearing trousers to the masqueraders? 1 Like |

Then the masquerade should be tried in the civil court and probably fined for human right abuse. 1 Like |

Full story: http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2011/mar/18/national-18-03-2011-008.htm By the way, according to the report, the masquerade did not descend upon the woman until she made some utterance. So, I'm not so sure this is just about the trousers. |

ChinenyeN: Even if she did say something to him, it doesn't justify removing her clothes. Haven't they heard of stick and stones . |
