A soldier with 3 Battalion Effurun in Delta state, was yesterday
September 22nd arrested by his command after he physically assaulted
and shaved the hair of one Reverend Felix Omas, the General overseer and
founder of Tower of Faith Ministries at Aleghor road checkpoint in
Effurun, Delta state.
Narrating his ordeal in the hands of the soldier, the elderly clergyman
said;
“I was driving in my SUV, but due to the traffic situation, I boarded a
tricycle. The soldiers stopped our tricycle as we were coming from
Alegbor, forcibly seated me on the ground as one of them pulled a
scissors and stroke three ugly cuts on my hair, saying my hair style
violates their rules.”
He said he could not protest the action of the soldier because he was
carrying a gun.
The soldier's command got wind of the his unruly action and arrested
him. According to a military source in the battalion, the soldier will
be charged for improper action.
