Daddy Showkey Reacts to Niger State Governor’s Order on Arresting People with Dreadlocks

Veteran Nigerian singer Daddy Showkey has voiced his concerns over the recent order given by Niger State Governor, Umar Bago, directing security operatives to arrest individuals with dreadlocks.

Governor Bago has caused a stir across the country after his controversial statement, which called for a crackdown on people sporting dreadlocks. During a public event in Minna, the state’s capital, the governor was seen in a viral video addressing security agencies.

In the video, Bago issued a stern warning against what he described as “rascality” in the state, singling out individuals with dreadlocks.

Daddy Showkey, a popular musician known for his distinctive long dreadlocks, took to social media to question the governor’s reasoning. He expressed disbelief over the governor’s order, asking if wearing dreadlocks was truly the cause of insecurity in the country.
