There was a mild drama at a Kaduna court on Thursday when a judge ordered the shaving of the head of Haruna Babangida, a Nigerian former professional footballer who played for many European clubs including FC Barcelona.

Dateline Nigeria reports that Babangida, popularly known as Daddy, is a younger brother to two former Nigerian internationals Tijani Babangida and Ibrahim Babangida.

He went to the court in Magajin Gari area of Kaduna where he had earlier filed a case that was due for hearing. He was also spotting his trademark hairstyle.

“Daddy was apparently returning from a football field as he was in his training vest and apparel.

“When the case was called, Daddy being a jovial fellow, started smiling. The judge probably mistook that for disrespect.

“So he first ordered the detention of the former player in a cell, but later decided a barber to shave his head and made him to pay for it,” a source said.

Attempts to reach the ex-Barcelona player proved unsuccessful, but sources close to him said he has vowed to seek redress.

The case has been adjourned to January 27.
