In Nigeria’s Borno state, the public is being subjected to forced Islamization and strict Sharia implementation by Sharia police. Hisbah Police ban “stylish haircuts, sagging of trousers, playing of music at social events by disk jockeys and tricycle riders from adorning their vehicles with pictures considered to be obscene and against the tenets of Islam in some states in the North.” As the West loses ground, Islam is gaining territory rapidly.
“Islamic Police, Hisbah Officials Shave Off ‘Unacceptable’ Hair Styles Of Borno Youths,” Sahara Reporters, April 24, 2023:
Personnel of the Hisbah Police in Borno State have shaved off the hair of some youths in the state for being “unIslamic.”
They were also punished for dressing in ways the officials consider to be offensive to Islam.
According to the state deputy commandant, Mallam Abdurrahaman Musa, the Islamic police decided to shave their hair because the hairstyle was against “the norms and values of the people of Borno State.”
Despite condemnation from Nigerians, the Hisbah group has continued its push for an Islamic agenda in the North.
The agency, established to enforce Sharia law has banned stylish haircuts, sagging of trousers, playing of music at social events by disk jockeys and tricycle riders from adorning their vehicles with pictures considered to be obscene and against the tenets of Islam in some states in the North…

About those Sharia police of Nigeria ,their shaving off hairstyles that they deem as un-Islamic is a mild type of force for Sharia police. This doesn’t justify that harassment yet when compared to how the “morality police” of Iran use deadly violence against girls and young women for not completely covering their hair , that is rather mild.
Still , this shows that freedom of individualism is not allows in the Islamic world.

Neither is freedom of thought Walter, much like in the leftist areas.
The punishment for free thinking is indeed something out of the dark ages.
