A Nigerian woman has caused a stir online after taking drastic lengths to cut off her son’s dread while he sleeps.

The young man who was soundly unconscious was oblivious to his surroundings.

His brother captured the video while pleading with his mother to spare his hair, but she refused to heed.

The mother justified her action on the grounds that she had cautioned him against bringing that particular hairstyle into her residence.

She admitted to incorporating sleeping pills into his meal, which explains why she served him a distinct meal.
