The Muslim Student Association of Nigeria recently filed a suit against the Lagos State Government over the use of Hijab in primary and secondary schools.

Justice Modupe Onyeabo of a Lagos High Court in Ikeja, has set September 26 to deliver judgment on the case.

Two Muslim students of Aturashe Junior High School, Surulere, Lagos, filed the suit through their fathers. They claim the restriction of the use of Hijab at the school violates their fundamental rights, calling it wrongful and unconstitutional.

According to Channels TV, the date was fixed after counsel to the students Gani Adetola-Kaseem (SAN) and the Lagos State Solicitor-General Lawal Pedro (SAN) argued and adopted their written submissions.

In his arguments in court on Friday, Adetola-Kaseem stated that the essence of wearing Hijab by Muslim females is to prevent them from tempting the opposite sex or being tempted by them.

He insisted that it is mandatory for all Muslim girls who have attained puberty to participate fully in the practice of Islam, which includes the dressing mode, worship and fasting.

By 2015 it will be mandatory all pupils in APC controlled states wears Hijab to school. Introducing Sharia was never going to be enough for muslims. The main purpose of APC is to Islamize Nigeria and we reject it. Back to sender!!
