Governor Umar Bago of Niger State has directed security agencies to arrest individuals wearing dreadlocks in Minna, the state capital.

Speaking at a stakeholders’ security meeting held at the Government House on Tuesday, the governor said the hair of such persons should be cut and fines imposed on them.

“We will have zero tolerance for rascality. Anybody that you find with dreadlocks, arrest, barb the hair, and fine him.

“Nobody should carry any kind of haircut inside Minna. I have given marching orders to security agencies,” he said.

The meeting was attended by security agencies and traditional rulers.

He urged parents to caution their children, saying the government would begin implementing stricter security measures.

“Parents should warn their children. From this moment, it’s 100% fire-for-fire.

“Also, any house found harbouring criminals should be demolished. Niger State is not for useless people,” Bago added.

He also announced restrictions on the movement of commercial motorcycles and tricycles between 6pm and 6am in Minna, noting that only those being used for medical emergencies would be exempted.

The governor further directed local leaders, including district, village, and ward heads, to ensure proper documentation of residents in their communities.

He added that any property used for harbouring criminals or selling illicit drugs would be destroyed.
