Men of the Borno State Hisbah Board have forcefully shaved the heads of some youths including underaged boys in the state for not being modest.
The Deputy Commander-General, Mal. Abdurahaman Musa, in a statement posted on the board’s Facebook page on Monday, April 24, 2023, said the Islamic police decided to shave their hair because the hairstyle was against “the norms and values of the people of Borno State.”
