Soldiers shaves man's hair because it was hairy

Something happened recently in Warri and I'd be grateful if you're able to share it on your blog so that folks could be more alert to the madness perpetuated by army officers who're said to be protecting the citizens of the great nation.

Continue..

On Monday the 19th of May, 2014, my nephew was a lone passenger in a Keke (commercial tricycle) on his way returning from work along PTI road, Effurun. The Keke was flagged down by some soldiers for no obvious reason. They told him to get down and kneel down which he did. Before he could grasp what was going on, they'd started initially to shave off his hair with a couple of scissors, claiming that his hair was too bushy. Attached is a picture of what his hair appeared  when he arrived home.

Can't a responsible child move about freely in his country anymore or is this a way to try to provoke youths to restiveness? Unfortunately, the soldiers, who'd been terrorizing residents and passersby that area for the entire day, had no name tags on the uniforms. The army Toyota Hilux with registration number 148 is the only real exhibit through which they could be traced.

Seven years after the General Overseer of the Christian Praying Assembly, Lagos, Rev Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, aka Reverend King, was convicted for murder and attempted murder, Folashade Adebayo attended a service in the church to see how things are going.

King, was on a recess.
