Social media mocks school's decision to shave hair of students with no Bible

Some images which have circulated social media revealed some male students who had the middle of their head scraped as punishment for infringing against what users described as a non-existent rule.

They have also made a prayer out of it.

A Twitter user, Omoniyi Israel, expressed scorn about the development in a tweet that can offer great strength in fervent prayers.

Some observed differently with positive comments about CU.

Despite the widespread criticism against the university's decision to cut the hair of its students, a few observers noted the improvement they have enjoyed in their development under the controlled mentoring of the institution.

A tweet attributed the negative response to the low capability of its critics to meet the financial expectations needed to study in the institution.
