The picture above is currently going round on social media. It was shared by a Facebook User, Aishat Alubankudi.

According to her, she would like members of the National Assembly to enact a law that would stop the tribal mark practice in Nigeria.

The photo of a child with fresh tribal marks went viral with an uproar from people slamming who ever allowed them do this to the poor child.

Meanwhile, Nigerian politician and lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye has reacted to the photo saying people should support his bill to stop it.

He shared the photo and said;

“This barbaric act must stop. National Identity card is enough to identify where individuals come from. Support my bill to stop this ….”
