BREAKING - Tattoo, Dreadlocks Don’t Make You Criminal: Police Officer

Nigerian police officer, Dolapo Opeyemi Badmus, has urged Nigerians to resist the intimidation of any law enforcement officer trying to arrest them simply because they have tattoos on their bodies or dreadlocks on their heads...

Badmus made this statement as a panelist of the social media week seminar to address the topic – “Social Media Wars- Dreads, Tattoos, and Passwords’.

She further urged Nigerians to resist the intimidation of any law enforcer who wants to use that as the basis to terrorise them by remaining calm, firm, courteous and insisting on not being a criminal for having tattoo or dreadlocks.
