A
lady returning from her village has narrated how soldiers stopped their
bus, questioned their driver for playing a certain kind of music, and
forced the young men with full hair to cut their hair.Sharing photos of
the male passengers being forced to cut each other's hair with razor
blade, Ify Nnamani wrote:This here, is so wrong on many levelsI'm
traveling back from the village and these soldiers stopped our bus.
First, this one questioned our driver for playing music that reminds him
of his days in the 'depot.' Then he asked these three guys to come down
for carrying full hair. Now they are making them barb each other with
the blunt razor they forced our driver to provide.I don't know when
carrying full hair or playing music in the bus became illegal that these
soldiers had to detain us for over 30 minutes. I was so angry on behalf
of those guys, especially as some of the older folks in our bus kept
saying they deserved to have their hairs cut that way. What is a guy
doing with full hair?All these blatant abuse of power and bullying of
innocent civilians by the military can't be allowed to continue
unchecked.
