A masquerade earlier arrested by the Akwa Ibom State Police Command for allegedly causing “public disorder and disturbance of peace” has now been formally charged to court.

The unusual incident has sparked lively conversations across the state and on social media, with many residents jokingly wondering who exactly is qualified to bail a spirit.

As of the time of filing this report, it remained unclear whether the court ordered the masquerade remanded in prison custody, granted bail, or discharged the case for lack of evidence.

The media is monitoring the situation and will provide updates as soon as new developments emerge.
