📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
Agemo Festival is a masked or masquerade festival traditionally held in many Yoruba cities but more popularly linked with the Ijebu people of Ogun State. The festival and accompanying rituals are celebrated to honor the spirit deity Agemo, who is believed to be a protector of children and who safeguards Ijebus future through its blessing. The festival is linked with the traditional Yoruba religion, in particular, the practices of the Agemo cult and as such, issues like restriction of movement during certain periods of the festival do occur.
