Benue shave off

A video circulating online shows officials of the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Services, NHFSS, forcefully shaving off a lady’s dyed hair in Benue State.

The officials whose primary responsibility is to safeguard the lives of farmers in the state following repeated attacks by bandits, reportedly stopped the lady who was on a bike and made her sit on the ground.
