Singer Ayra Starr calls out passport officers who forced her to remove her eye lashes

Nigerian singer, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, popularly known as Ayra Starr, says she will never forgive officials at a passport office in Nigeria who asked her to remove her eyelashes before attending to her.

In a post shared on her Instagram page this morning, Ayra Starr, 20, wrote:

”This passport office people really made me just remove my lashes. I’ll never forgive y’all”

It is actually the tradition with immigration officials to insist ladies who wish to do image capturing remove their eyelashes and facial ornaments.

Anyone with nose rings and similar ornaments on their face is requested to remove them before sitting down for image capturing.

It is said that this is necessary to make the image as close to the person as possible.

It is not known if it is done the same way in other countries of the world.
