In a shocking development, the Governor of Niger State has issued a firm decree, announcing that anyone found sporting dreadlocks will face immediate arrest, a compulsory haircut, and a fine. The new policy, which has sparked outrage and heated conversations online, is aimed at curbing what the state government claims is “unruly and suspicious appearances” in the region.
Many Nigerians have taken to social media to voice their concerns about the Niger State Dreadlocks Ban, calling it a violation of personal freedom and expression. Meanwhile, authorities insist the enforcement is for the “greater good” of public safety.
