Veteran Nigerian singer, Daddy Showkey, has reacted to a recent order given by Niger State governor, Umar Bago for ordering security operatives to arrest persons with dreadlocks.
Bago has sparked controversy after declaring a crackdown on individuals with dreadlocks, ordering police to arrest anyone found wearing the hairstyle.
The directive was captured in a video currently trending on X (formerly Twitter), where the governor was seen addressing security agencies during a public event.
In the video, Bago issued a stern warning against what he described as “rascality” in the state capital, Minna.
In his reaction, the singer who is known for wearing longer dreadlocks questioned the governor if wearing of dreadlocks was the cause of insecurity in the country.
He further disclosed that he had to cancel his trip to Minna after the order from the governor.
He enjoined the Governor to cut his beards before making such order.
