Osun: One dead, children, others injured as masquerades attack Muslims

At least, one person has been confirmed dead while about 12 persons, including children sustained gunshot injuries in a clash that ensued between masquerade worshipers in Osogbo and some Muslims on Sunday.

DAILY POST gathered that the masquerade worshipers opened gunfire at the Muslims at their worship centre, Kamorudeen Central Mosque, located at Oluode Aranyin in Osogbo around 2:30 pm on Sunday while performing a special prayer for Nigeria.

Some of the children who were shot are under 17 years and are undergoing treatment at different hospitals.

A 12-year-old boy, Abduljeleel Ali who sustained gunshot injuries on the chest and leg; Adebayo Awolesin, 15, who was shot in the arm; Taofeeq Fatai, 17 and Maliq Abdukabir, 17 are all undergoing treatment in Osun State University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.

A Camry car and mosque windows were destroyed in the clash.

It was gathered that Kamorudeen Islamic Society of Nigeria organised a special prayer for Nation which was attended by members of the organisation across the state.

One of the victims who spoke with DAILY POST during a visit to the hospital, Isiaka Ajagbe, 37, narrated that the traditional worshippers were led by one Kayode Esuleke.

He said that the masquerade and their worshipers under the protection of the police walked past the mosque before they returned and descended on them with stones.

“They were first throwing stones and also started firing guns at us. They destroyed the mosque. We are on our own.”

The Imam of the mosque, Kazeem Yunus confirmed that the leader of the organisation in Iwo, Osun State, Moshood Salawudeen was shot in the head and gave up the ghost before getting to the hospital.

"Some of our members, about 12 who sustained bullet injuries have been taken to Osun State General Hospital, Asubiaro; Osogbo central hospital and UNIOSUN central hospital while the corpse has been deposited at UNIOSUN teaching hospital mortuary,” he added.

The report of the incidence I’m seeing here aligns towards a side and seems biased

Give us the reports from the two sides of the divide.

The masquerades couldn’t just descend on the mosque pelting it with stones and shooting the people inside it. That is highly impossible

Wtf

Penaldo's fault

Muslim always attack first anytime Egungun pass through the mosque route as their custom, they probably met a brutal force that was ready for them.

Alfa don go run hin mouth!
But really what exact power does Christianity and Islam offer an individual?
Abi all the protection dey heaven?

The story seems one sided.... There's no justification for this barbaric act anyway

Hahhahah, life in the most wise region. Let's see how this marriage works out. I am sure the Yorubas are peaceful people and accommodating of any religion. Even they and fulanis are one. Can we all blame ipob for this, because they want to burn down Oduduwa land by shooting the Muslim brothers

MURIC over to you

It should be Muslims attacked Muslims, almost all the local babalowo in Yoruba land bear Muslim names even all the high rank Alhajis are strong Babalowo.

One sided story!

What you did before they attacked wasn't (weren't ) mentioned.

Since it's time to play victim card, you didn't ask us to obey forced rule to follow jihad.

Masquerade done join the killer squad party??

You get problem
