“Anybody that you find with dreadlocks, arrest, barb the hair, and fine the person.

Governor Bago also extended hand of friendship to investors with dreadlocks into the state, saying they are welcome to the Governor’s Office.

“Yesterday, we read a riot act on hooliganism and people misunderstood our words for people who have dreadlocks.

“We don’t have a problem with dreadlocks, but we have a problem with the cult here with dreadlocks. So if you have any business and you have dreadlocks, please come to Niger State. All that is media propaganda,” he said.
