Kano Hisbah shaves ‘unIslamic’ haircut of students

Men of Kano State Islamic police, Hisbah, have forcibly shaved off the hair of some secondary school students in the state for being ‘unIslamic’.

Some of the students were also punished for dressing in ways the officials consider to be offensive to Islam.

 

 

 

 

In some pictures trending on social media, officials of the Islamic police could be seen shaving off the students’ hair in the school premises.

Despite condemnation from Nigerians, the Hisbah group has continued its push for an Islamic agenda in the North.
