ENUGU \u2013 WOMEN in Aku community, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State are now living in fear, following\u00a0 violent attacks by Odo masqueraders, which stripped two women in broad day-light for allegedly wearing trousers.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

A native of Aku told\u00a0 newsmen,\u00a0\u00a0 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\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
