Veteran Nigerian musician Daddy Showkey has slammed Niger State Governor Umar Bago for ordering the arrest of individuals with dreadlocks. Governor Bago claimed the move would curb insecurity, but Showkey fired back in a fiery Instagram post.
"Mohammed Umar, na Dada be your problem?" Showkey wrote. "If you want to cut people’s hair, start with your beard!" The dancehall legend also canceled his planned trip to Niger State in protest.
The governor’s directive has sparked outrage, with many Nigerians calling it discriminatory. Critics argue that insecurity stems from deeper issues, not hairstyles. Showkey’s bold response has gone viral, rallying support from fans and civil rights advocates.
