Officials from Borno State’s Hisbah Command shaved some young men’s hair for transgressing the moral code of the state.

On Monday, the security company posted on its Facebook page that the haircuts were completed during the Eid holiday.

The Islamic police chose to shave their hair since the hairdo went against the good morals and culture of the people of Borno State, according to Mallam Abdurrahaman Musa, the state deputy commandant.

The statement read, “ #Hisbah army in #Borno state has conducted sa’ido and care of the youths #men and #women during Eid celebration.

“The army is determined to see how the youth are bringing out new inappropriate behaviors during the prayer ceremony.

“In view of the government’s order to go home to the zoo where she shaved many youths, most of them are underage children.

“According to D.C.O Mal. Abdurrahaman Musa “the barbering on the children’s hair is against the good morals and culture of Borno State.”
