An Ogun state High court has now declared the daytime parade of Oro festival and its restriction of people’s movement as illegal.
The court ordered that Oro festival or ritual can only be celebrated between midnight and 4 a.m, subject to the approval and an undertaking to maintain peace. Justice Sikiru Owodunni, who delivered the judgment, also ordered that Oro worshippers have no constitutional power to impose curfew on the people.
The suit was filed by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Muslim Ummah in Ipokia against the town’s Oro worshippers
