Reggae and dancehall artiste Samini Dagaati was on Wednesday turned away from speaking to
students at a High School in Accra due to his dreadlocks.
The “My own” hit maker wanted to address students of the
Ebenezer Senior High School in Dansoman, but the school’s headmaster denied him
access.
Samini explained that he was prevented from speaking to
the students because he was wearing dreadlocks.
“The headmaster of Ebenezer Senior High School decided that
because of my dreadlocks, I was not fit to speak to the students of the school
which is in Dansoman where I live, which is 5 minutes from my parents’ home,” he said, as quoted by Citinewsroom.
At Saint Margaret Mary, I went there
with my dreadlocks and I met the Reverend Father who is the assistant
headmaster and then I went and met the headmistress herself. Then I went to the
vocational school with my dreadlocks.”
Samini is currently on a high school tour in Accra, as he
prepares to hold his annual “Saminifest” concert.
