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.

Something must have wrong with that soldier man
He should be jailed, that's how they go about molesting innocent civilians.
what nonsense! This is very annoying. Why should a soldier be molesting innocent citizens? Is it because he has a gun? I hope this matter will not be swept under carpet. The Command should use the goat as an example to other erring ones.

Why do Nigerian soldiers like harrasing innocent civilians?
The Army shouldn't bother to charge him for anything; they should just send him to Boko Haram war front. It is the cowards among them that are very unruly.
Yes is good for him,i don't know what's wrong with some military people's coz of army uniform and gun#ifairgunooooo
... Strange!
Look at this useless fools,u can't even fight terrorist and you are here molesting a pastor it baffles me the way this angry soldiers go for civilians and yet they find it difficult to fight terrorist. Shame on Nigeria forces!
Is it that some of these uniformed guys never got any form of formal education?
This soldiers can abuse their power ehnnn, wat rule is preventing pple from having hair again. They shlf go and cut denrele's hair na
They want 2 see the other side of God by violating the man of God
The soldiers need to be sacked or jail with hard labour.
Cos he was inside a keke na,he's automatically WORTHLESS...
Jeez, dis is exactly hw dey misbehave in d city of warri n environs... I hv witness first hand their brutal ways of molesting n torturing d masses in d name of trying to sanitize d society... He shld b punished for dis, dey ar powet drunk coz dey carry rifles.. Rubbish
The only thing Nig soldiers kw aw 2 do ,is 2 do the work their aint assigned 2. #####QUEENMAYA#####
Thank God it ended that way, that there was no incedence of accidental discharge. They should know that we are nolonger under military rule.
Nawa oo, der is GOD oo*****GIFT****
Wahala dey naija
All did soldiers r just so inconsiderate.how could he du DAT to a man of God.God forgive him
And wen dem say make u enta chibok 2 bring our girls or fight BH, u go AWOL...
That is the Nigerian military for you, that is why i HATE them with passion. They bully civilians instead of protecting them.
Alloy u cute o
Nd u be puttin up comments like a learner
Yeahhh I checked his google + accnt sue me *tongue out*
Guy na u hack my google a/c. u beta live am 4 gud
How can ur name be baby Oku r u alrite??
Strange things re happening
Linda, you got it correct here. It's 3 Battalion not 3rd Battalion as some other people say.Military formations and units in Nigeria are designated with cardinals and not ordinals in the same way it is done in the UK. Americans on the other hand use ordinals
FIRST TO COMMENT***(GURU) The soldier must be mentally deranged.How can a reasonable soldier assault a man of God.If the Rev curse the soldier, he will remain useless for life..
Dey. Should do something about them I was told I will flogged 24 dat my. Dreess was short n wason my knee
RITUAL TINZ!!! Please Linda follow this story very well. If anything happens to this elderly man later the army officer should be held responsible. As for all the other hair shaving, I suspect one big man in Delta state needs heads for ritual. My people, shine una eyes this is not ordinary. If they have a problem with people's hair style they should ask them to change it not this on the spot three shavings.
Unbelievable#!! He deserves more than that. This looks like a ritualist parading himself as an army officer. Why three cuts from he's hair? Wickedness in high places.
Gun intoxicates, too bad for his calling
The soilder should pray wella so that God's wrath won't befall him and his family for generations. Shaving a pastor's hair is symbolic. Remember samson in the Holy BIBLE whose head was shaved?
Some re just animals in camouflage
These aint soldiers
Buh brutes with a gun
Ur stupidity is 10/10 .okbye
He should be deployed to borno state to fight boko haram
Abuse of power. Maybe he was drunk.
Terrible how soldiers harass and bully innocent civilians. My colleague lost her dad last Friday after a soldier who had hit his car from behind beat him up. Its so sad how they bully people because they have guns in their possession.
imagine, th want to turn themselves to baber, that is what the are doing in my vilage. Bokoharam is ur work not barbin, dear soldier.
