A barber was allegedly assaulted by soldiers after cutting the wrong hairstyle for a man’s daughter yesterday in Asaba, Delta state. According to an online report, trouble started after the barber couldn’t perfect the hairstyle the man wanted for his daughter – thereby prompting the man not to pay as he took his daughter to another saloon.

It was reported that this morning, the man stormed the barber’s shop with soldiers and assaulted him.

Human rights advocate,Prince Gwamnishu Harrison shared the sad story online. Below is what he wrote;

BARBER ASSAULTED IN ASABA BY SOLDIERS FOR CUTTING WRONG HAIR STYLE.

Received a call from a barber to please rescue his boy from further maltreatment by soldiers (fully dressed in Army Uniform).

We couldn’t get to the scene due to wrong address given by the caller. (Apologies).
