A young barber, Elijah Ode has been allegedly arrested in Kano state for ‘insulting’ Islam by giving customers worldly haircuts. Benue state activist, Smith Akoko, in a Facebook post, said Elijah was accused of blasphemy over the hairstyles he gives men in the state.
Smith added that the young barber’s cousin confirmed his arraignment in court on Tuesday, February 2, 2021.

In a lengthy post, the activist wrote;
“Elijah Ode, a resident of Kano from Adum East, Obi LGA of Benue State, who combines barbing with studies and is domicile in the Sabon Gari town of the state was reported to have been in the net of Islamic religious extremists, who believe he has committed blasphemy in the cause of his work as barber.

Report says Elijah, who is well patronized by young people for possessing exceptional skills in trendy haircuts, attracted the wrath of the extremists last week Wednesday when two of his customers were tortured to stupor for designs claimed to be blasphemous to the Islamic religion.

Thereupon, Elijah was traced to his barbershop, where he was arrested for complicity, and has been in Police detention with the two customers since last week.

According to information obtained from his cousin, Mr Sunday Ukenya, the young barber did not design the hairstyles with the intention to provoke. He said he was only being innovative doing his work as usual to eke a living and pay his fees at his tertiary institution of study in Kano, where he sponsors himself.

Ukenya also added that the case is already in the court of law at the wish of the aggrieved Muslims with first session being yesterday. He expressed sadness, however, that all efforts by the young barber’s lawyer to bail him proved abortive for the claim that it is a major case and is as a result not bailable.

At the moment, the family has run out of hope, soliciting intercessory prayers as the reality of incarceration stares Elijah in the face. And indeed, jamesibechi.com can confirm that unless prayers are offered or reputable human rights activists from across the globe rise up for the defenceless self-sponsored young barber, the reality may be undesirable but inevitable.”

You know why I like hisbah, they see normal things as blasphemy, while they see Boko's as normal. If not, they should have catch or arrest 1 Boko Haram. What a pity... When I become the President of Zoogeria. The first thing I will do is to cancel Religions. Na wetin spoil this country till today. One Tulé for Angola ... Very smart country people.
