Umar Bago, governor of Niger, has ordered security
operatives to arrest persons with dreadlocks in Minna, the state capital.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ security meeting held at the
government house on Tuesday, Bago said security operatives should cut the
dreadlocks of such arrested residents and impose fines on them.
The meeting was attended by security agencies and traditional
rulers.
The Niger governor said his administration has zero
tolerance for rascality.
“Anybody that you find with dreadlocks, arrest, barb the
hair, and fine the person,” the governor said.
“Nobody should carry any kind of haircut inside Minna. I
have given marching orders to security agencies.”
Bago also directed security operatives to treat anybody
carrying arms in the state as armed robbers.
CURFEW FOR COMMERCIAL MOTORCYCLES
The governor also restricted the movement of commercial
motorcycles and tricycles from 6pm to 6am in Minna.
Bago said those using motorcycles and tricycles for medical
emergencies are exempted, adding that he would not stay back and watch
criminals continue to perpetrate evil in the state.
Bago asked district, village, and ward heads to ensure
proper documentation of residents in their domains.
He added that any building found harbouring criminals or
being used for the sale of illicit drugs will be destroyed.
