A wave of outrage has erupted on social media following the emergence of a viral video showing Eyo masquerades assaulting a man during the ongoing 2025 Eyo Festival celebrations in Lagos.
The footage, which began circulating on Saturday, captures approximately four men dressed in the traditional white Eyo regalia and red hats repeatedly striking a man with their staves.
As the victim attempted to shield himself, several other masked men were seen rushing toward the scene to join the assault, while spectators looked on.
A separate video seen by our correspondent on Saturday showed a different confrontation where residents were seen throwing chairs and other objects at a group of Eyo masquerades during a procession.
