Mavin singer, Rema has surprised fans with a new hairstyle on social media.
Keeping dreads, looking dapper, and having a nice car or phone seemingly gets the attention of these criminals in uniforms and what usually happens next isn’t pleasant. Some Nigerian youths have been forced to take off their dreads and due to this Rema is on a mission to create awareness with his latest hairstyle.
The singer who has been on dreads since he made his debut with “Dumebi†cut them off for a much lower hair cut to lend his support to the ongoing protests against police brutality across the country. Taking to his twitter page, he wrote that keeping dreads doesn’t mean he is a criminal. He wrote: “Rema to the surprise of many of his fans debuted a new hairstyle on his social media.â€

There is pandemonium in Abuja as #EndSars Protesters shut down Force Headquarters and demanded to see the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
The protesters vowed not to leave the premises of the building saying they were ready to pass a night until IGP addressed them .
The angry youths stormed the premises of the building on Saturday morning in continuation of their agitation for the Nigerian government to scrap the Special Anti Robbery Squad ( SARS ) which they said has become a killing squad.
A senior police officer who came out to address the crowd was interrupted as they demanded for the presence of the police boss.
All entreaties by the leader of the group and human rights lawyer, Abdul Mahmud to persuade the youths to listen to the officer was unsuccessful as they stood their ground and sat on the road.
Meanwhile gun wielding policemen were on standby while the standoff continued.
There has been growing outrage against the SARS over the continued brutality, torture, harassment and extra judicial killing of Nigerians.

Inside Niger’s miracle centre where ‘witches’ are stripped naked
*Self-styled prophet subjects residents accused of witchcraft to inhuman treatment *His actions pure abuse of human rights — Activist *LG chair reveals plans to banish him from domain *Rights abuse allegations not true, says Aide
Videos of gross abuse of human rights in a so-called miracle centre in Mokwa, Niger State have been trending on social media in the past two months. They include those of men and women stripped naked after they were accused of witchcraft. Bizarre scenes in the videos include women being forced to confess their alleged evil deeds at gunpoint and men being forced to urinate on one another.
The opening scene in one of the videos features two men fighting naked while a singer described as the healer Mallam sings for them. The two men engage each other in a fight until they became tired, after which they were made to confess their sins. In one of the confessions, someone is seen in the background slapping the confessor until he admitted to being a wizard. The other man who “refused to confess completely†was given another opponent to continue fighting with.
The two men who were fighting in the opening scene and gave their names as Danjuma and Mohammed are also made to dance naked while the self styled healer Mallam throws sachets of ‘pure water’ at them.
Another scene features two women who within seconds were stripped naked while every attempt they made to cover their unclothedness in front of a mammoth crowd was rebuffed. Even the one of the naked women who tried to cover her face was prevented from doing so as she was forced to remove the hands she masked her face with.
Another scenario saw an old woman being tortured with a stun gun to confess that she is a witch. The woman, who looks like one in her 80s, is seen being stunned in the back to force her to confess that she is a witch.
The foregoing are only a tip of the violation of human rights being perpetrated by Hassan Muhammad Nnafene Patigi who claims to be a prophet with ability to heal all kinds of diseases, including stroke, leprosy, blindness, deafness and dumbness, as well as provide remedies for infertility, kleptomania and stillbirth, among others.
