A city man based in Kayole has taken the law into his own hands and repossessed dreadlocks belonging to his girlfriend from a man who had not paid for them, months after they were fixed, fashioned and styled onto his head.

In a video that has since gone viral, the man corners the client who hasn't paid for the hairstyle for month, pins him down and proceeds to cut the locks.

Protesting the dreadlocked man tells the angry boyfriend, "I haven't refused to pay. I will pay you."

Despite his pleas, the city man continues to cut off the locks one by one using a pair of scissors.

"I have been sick, I have just recovered and returned," the dreadlocked fellow added.

A woman who is off-camera, whose locks are being recovered asked, "For 7 months Zawadi? Hiyo haiwezi."

The angry bae says with finality, "Unataka kua hanssome hii Nairobi na dred za dame yangu? Utachukua deni za wengine? Umeskia?"

Unagara na dredi za dame yangu?

The rastaman who lost his locks says he has not been working so he had no financial income to pay for the dredlocks.

The boyfriend and his bae filmed the assault that has since gone viral, if the rasta man in the video seeks justice against the assault, he actually has a case.
