A private university in Nigeria has been criticised for punishing students by shaving a strip into their hair.
Punch newspaper has tweeted some of the pictures of the students:
Earlier this week tweeters shared videos showing men queuing up in an assembly hall for the punishment and walking out with the strips cut out of their hair:
The Nigerian newspapers have differing accounts as to why the students' hair was shaved at the Christian Covenant University in Ota, Ogun State.
One site, The Pulse , says the punishment was doled out to students who were not carrying bibles.
Another, Naija, says the punishment was for not going to all the religious services during Easter.
But, as Punch reports , they all agree that the University has come under an onslaught of criticism.
Among the disapproval is the accusation that the university is treating the students like children, that the students' right to dignity was not taken seriously and that it was unhygienic to use the same clippers on multiple students.
The university has not yet commented in the Nigerian press.

In public salons, the clippers are sanitized

The university has rules and sanctions. The students are to be blamed for choosen such school in the first place. No amount of criticism can draw sympathy from the public because the school is more of religious inclined. Many went to that school and graduated without issue so I wonder why this set will have issue. If you can't take the heart from the kitchen, then come out from it
